The Caring for Country music competition is raising awareness of the importance of caring for Country through biosecurity.

  • The Caring for Country Music Competition expanded in 2025 and invited song and dance entries from all residents of the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Queensland!

    Biosecurity involves protecting our environment, maintaining the overall health and wellbeing of the land, its ecosystems, and safeguarding the people who depend on them.

    Prize categories

    All shortlisted song entries will be available on the website for voting, with the winner of the $2,500 People’s Choice Award chosen by the community.

    People’s Choice voting is NOW OPEN.

    Vote for your favourite song between 3–16 November 2025. You can only vote once, so make it count!
    Voting closes at midnight ACST 16 November 2025.
