Oh Mercy Win Qantas SOYA Award
For those who aren't in the know, the Qantas SOYA Awards (Spirit Of Youth Awards) is Australia's influential grants program for up and coming creative folk. Spread across seven categories including fashion, film and photography, each of the categories' finalists are up for the grand prize of $10,000 in flights and cold hard cash, in addition to some choice advice from a guru in their field to help get a leg up in the biz.
Steve Pavlovic - or Pav as he's better known as around the traps - was this year's Qantas SOYA Award "music mentor" and was stoked to announce awesome Melbourne four-piece Oh Mercy as the winners of the music category. As part of the program, Oh Mercy will be spending exclusive one-on-one time with Pav and Modular staff over the next 12 months, gaining insight into the music industry and extensive knowledge of the organic food market.
With past music winners like My Disco, it's evident how much of a help the Qantas SOYA Awards have been and Pav and Modular can't wait to spend the coming year with Oh Mercy and see what results are cooked up over the coming months.
