RAC Arena's Limelight music fund has reopened for Western Australian musicians, offering over $30,500 in prizes.
RAC Arena has reopened its Limelight music fund to support Western Australian musicians. The fund provides financial support to help homegrown talent kickstart their careers. The winning act and two runners-up will receive financial, performance and promotional opportunities throughout 2027, with more than $30,500 in prizes up for grabs. The main prize includes $5,000, a live performance at Telethon 2027, PR and music distribution packages.
The initiative was first introduced in 2022 for RAC Arena's 10th anniversary. Past recipients have included Boox Kid, Elianie, Ghostcare, Alter Boy, Angie Colman, Riley Pearce, Those Who Dream, Anna Schneider, GIA COMO and The Kickons.
Rac Arena general manager Michael Scott said supporting local talent was vital. 'RAC Arena might welcome some of the world's biggest artists to our stage, but supporting the extraordinary talent being created right here in Western Australia is just as important to us,' he said. Boox Kid, the 2025 prize winner, said the Limelight grant had boosted his career, helping him release his debut album Kalyakoorl, which blends English and Noongar language and explores themes of culture and connection to country.
