Abstract
This submission documents the conception, development, delivery, and post-production of the Baysounds Songwriting Competition and Baysounds Live 2025, a practice-based creative and educational initiative led by the author in partnership with SAE Byron Bay and Bay FM Community Radio. The project combined industry-aligned songwriting assessment, live broadcast performance, and multi-camera audiovisual production to create an authentic learning and industry engagement environment for emerging artists and students.
The initiative culminated in Baysounds Live, a public live music event featuring six selected acts, broadcast live on Bay FM and captured via a multi-camera production workflow. The project functioned simultaneously as a community-facing cultural event, an industry collaboration, and a pedagogical framework embedded within SAE’s creative media ecosystem. This submission evidences applied scholarship through leadership in creative practice, curriculum-adjacent learning design, and industry-engaged production.
