What do Stella Donnelly, Sydnee Carter, Beni Bjah, KUČKA and Mathas have in common? Well, they've all taken out the WAM Song of the Year Award across the past few years, with a bunch of industry figures from West Australia and beyond (including us) coming to the conclusion that out of every single track to arrive out of WA in each respective year, theirs have been the best. Now, yours can join the hall of fame, with WAM announcing their 2018/2019 Song of the Year competition now officially open, meaning that if you're from the west coast and you've put out a tidy jam or two in the past twelve months, you can be leaving the ceremony with a whole hoard of prizes.
