RTRFM and Shelter Brewing Co want to help you LAUNCH IT!
We’re giving local bands, live producers and promoters a chance to promote your next big event on the airwaves.
RTRFM has teamed up with Shelter Brewing Co to bring you LAUNCH IT, an initiative designed to help local acts promote their next significant event with a free sponsorship campaign on The Sound Alternative to the value of $1,000.
This includes an on-air sponsorship campaign, a social media post and an Off Your Dial email inclusion.
The station is calling on applications from bands, live producers and local promoters who have a significant event in the next six months to apply, whether that be an album, EP or single launch, or a gig of note.
Applications for November have now closed.
We are currently taking applications for events in January. Apply before 9am December 11th.
Simply apply above and a panel of RTRFM staff members (Matt Perrett, Music Director; Pam Boland, Breakfast Presenter/Producer; and Chris Wheeldon, Events/ Operations Manager) will select one successful applicant per month to benefit from LAUNCH IT.
Applicants must be from WA and applications must be made by the artist or driving force producing the launch event.
Applications open from 15 November and close at 9am Wednesday December 11th for events in January.
One successful applicant will be chosen per month.
