The following seven finalists have been selected from over 60 competitors, after a grueling process of heats, semi-finals, and preparing business plans and press kits:

- Charlotte Johansen
- Goon
- Milk Milk Lemonade
- Punga
- Manu Bennett
- Luke Bodle
- MaTaR

The final well be held at the Temple on Saturday 27 September at 8pm, and with the impending closure of the Temple, will be the last time the York Street Studio Acid Test will be held at the legendary Queen Street venue, although owner Karen Temple says it is likely she will continue to produce the event in the future.

With over $15,000 worth in prizes, the competition is a fantastic chance for musicians to not only take advantage of these prizes, but also; the exposure, industry networking, career development and other great opportunities this
competition affords.
