Yes fans of Ireland’s best lead up to Christmas will be delighted to know that the station is back for 2012 AND the song contest returns again. Christmas FM is BACK. Frequencies this year are Dublin City 94.3- Cork City 106.7 – Limerick City 105.5 – Galway City 89.5 – Kildare 88.1 – South East 103.8.

So for those with a love for the station and not of writing songs, the station will be returning to your ears on November 28th 2012 running right through for four weeks. We’re told there will be an extra transmitter in a new location this year, expanding the stations considerable reach.

Now onto the nitty gritty. The song contest! This is an open call to all Irish musicians and bands of all genres to put together an original Christmas song. This is the advanced notice, uploading of songs will open on Friday 23rd November on ChristmasFM.ie and uploading will be allowed until Friday 7th December. At this point the prestigious Christmas FM judging panel will kick into play and whittle the entries down to a final six.

From there the top six songs as judged by the panel, will be put to public vote, so listeners can text in a vote for their favourite song. The voting will commence on December 10th and close and the winner announced on the Breakfast Show on Monday 17th December. The song will be then playlisted fully on Christmas FM for the final week.

The winner will receive €500 worth of audio gear from Christmas FM‘s kind sponsors X-Music and be play-listed on Christmas FM.

So what are you waiting for, can you write the best new Irish Christmas song? If so we want to hear it.

  • All submissions must be of broadcast-able quality
