Well then step right up, as Griffith Musician's Club is once again on the hunt for Griffith's cream of the crop.
Club president Michael Pfitzner said this was a competition giving young musicians a big step up, and motivated to go on to bigger and better things.
"They gain exposure and opportunities that enable them to further advance themselves in the music industry," Mr Pfitzner explained.
Last year's winner Anastasia Comarin, has embodied what it means to be named and become Griffith's young musician.
Busy gigging locally with her own band as well as a few guest appearances with other bands, she was also lead guitarist for Marian School Cabaret last year, and will be playing lead guitar for the musical "We Will Rock You" this year.
"The young Musician of the Year Award has become a very important activity for the club and is well supported by all its members who are keen to see the next lot of up and coming musicians," Mr Pfitzner said.
"This exposure has also allowed some of the new talent to play with some of the already successful established bands."
