The competition, Boundless Breaking, aims to discover talented local musicians, with two winners taking to the stage at Boundless’ inaugural concerts A Boundless Summer, which take place at Borde Hill, Haywards Heath on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th July.

The winners will join the stellar line-up for the concerts, which includes UB40 with support from Aswad and The Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes and Tonnino Baliardo.

- A professional recording session at Brighton Electric recording studios, whose clients include The Cure, Laura Marling, Nick Cave, The Maccabees, Architects, Noisettes and The Go! Team.

- A track produced by Dan Swift, who has worked with artists including The Libertines, Kasabian, Snow Patrol and Imogen Heap.

- 1,000 CDs pressed of the recorded song, mastered at Sound Discs in Chichester.
