The inaugural NamVision song contest has been held, and just like that other song contest that was also held at the weekend, the final was very close with just half a point separating first and second place.
Congratulations to the winner Isabelle Blackstone, who edged Jack Grigg. Isabelle's winning song, 'Same Colour Hearts', was chosen by a combination of industry judges including Laurie Cokell (London Records/ Smart City College) and Jon Coghill (Powderfinger/ ABC Radio) and, of course, audience votes.

Eleven PM Studios generously recorded each finalist’s backing track in the week prior to the final so the performances were quite polished.
Thank you to all the contestants: Isabelle Blackstone, Jack Grigg, Bethany Butler, Ana & Rob Greenfield, and the sparkly MC Sheila (Mary Eggleston) for such an entertaining afternoon. Isabelle’s prize package includes a recording studio session, professional photoshoot package and acting classes.
NamVision will be back, bigger and better in 2017.
