- Do You Have Knox Factor?
Applications for Knox Factor 2024 are now open!
An annual talent competition, Knox Factor is open to singers of all skill levels who have a connection to Knox - a fantastic opportunity for those aspiring to pursue a career in singing and the performing arts.
Knox Factor 2023 winner, 17-year-old Carla Venkataya, urges aspiring singers to seize the opportunity.
“For anyone who might find entering this competition a bit nerve wracking, a bit scary, I would say do it because everyone is so supportive. It’s a really good experience for you to get out on a different stage and perform for different people. I found that being able to perform on the stage was very comfortable — it was very welcoming for me as someone who hadn’t done the competition before.”
The four age categories open to applicants are:
- 5 years – 11 years
- 12 years – 15 years
- 16 years – 20 years
- 21+
How do I apply?
All you need to do is submit an un-edited video of yourself singing for a maximum of 2 minutes (on iPhone is fine) before 11:59pm Friday 2 August.
Following this, there will be three stages for those who progress:
- Stage 2: Live heats
- Stage 3: Semi-final,
- Stage 4: Grand final, where our finalists will perform at Knox’s very own Carols by Candlelight.
What’s in it for me?
- All contestants will receive professional mentoring and training support in vocal technique, song writing and performance through the ASV Academy
- Public performance opportunities including the Grand Final at Knox Carols by Candlelight
- Other prizes include studio recording time, musical equipment and exposure to music industry and local arts networks
- Most importantly, fun! The chance to grow, learn new skills and make new friends.

We look forward to receiving your applications!
