Sydney New Year’s Eve is a local and global celebration that reaches an audience of more than 425 million people worldwide.

It’s attended by more than 1 million people around the harbour foreshore. Research shows the event has a direct economic impact of $280 million to Sydney.

Calling Country showcases Indigenous artists and culture on a global scale, respectfully acknowledging the custodians of the land where Sydney New Year’s Eve is held.

We’re inviting expressions of interest for an experienced Indigenous organisation to provide creative production services for the 2022 Sydney New Year’s Eve Calling Country. The service provider must engage Indigenous artists to work with and present the Calling Country segment, and collaborate with the City of Sydney and Sydney New Year’s Eve creative teams on ceremony, projections, pyrotechnics, music and live performance.

The expression of interest will be conducted in 2 stages.
