Following news that MTV Unplugged will premiere in Australia later this year, MTV Australia have announced a competition looking for undiscovered artists to showcase on the program.
The competition, which opens today, will see four Aussie singer-songwriters flown to Melbourne to perform one cover song from Unplugged's huge catalogue and one original track in front of the in-studio audience and music industry heavyweights.
The winning artists will get the full 'Unplugged' experience too, with their story to be told in a content series which will air on MTV.

It comes after Gang Of Youths were confirmed as the first act to perform on the Australian-first MTV Unplugged.
Speaking to The Music this month, bass player Max Dunn said, "It's pretty mind-blowing, like it is pretty cool.
"Get to make songs sound a certain way and give people a more genuine experience of the melody."
