Calling all festive music makers across Kilkenny!

Are you a talented songwriter, singer or music fan who has written a festive melody or recorded a Christmas cover version of a beloved favourite that could help ‘Switch Christmas On’ across the nation this year?

Do you have a Christmassy hit that could spread festive cheer and seasonal joy? If so, Christmas FM wants to hear from you!

The much-loved radio station has unveiled ‘The SPAR Christmas FM Song Contest’ for 2024 in a bid to find the next festive tune that will help to spread goodwill and cheer right across Ireland. The winning song will have the honour of being broadcast to Christmas FM’s Irish and international fans along with the likes of Christmas legends such as Slade, Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé.

Supporting homegrown talent, entrants from across the island of Ireland are asked to submit their application ahead of the closing date at 1pm on Friday, November 29. All you have to do is write and record your very own festive tune or a cover version and fill out the entry form here: https://christmasfm.com/songcontest/
