Unearthed is the name of a Triple J project to find and "dig up" (hence the name) hidden talent in regional Australia.
Unearthed has had three incarnations - they first visited each region of Australia where Triple J had a transmitter - 41 regions in all. It started with the more rural areas but eventually the capital cities were covered as well. The second lasted from 2002 to 2005 and visited each state only once.
In 2006 the format changed to be a more internet driven competition. Instead of the rounds travelling across Australia, artists are now required to upload their music in mp3 format to be judged.

[edit] Third round (2006)
The 2006 round of Unearthed was launched on August 9, 2006. The project has taken the form of a website, triplejunearthed.com. Bands and musicians hoping to be Unearthed upload their music in mp3 format to the website, along with a photo and biography. All music can be listened to on the website through a flash jukebox, or tracks can be downloaded. Registered users can also rate and review music and create their own playlists which they can email to friends. Triple J will run several competitions aimed at providing extra exposure to the most popular artists. One of these competitions will allow a band to be selected to play at the Homebake music festival.
The first competition (Strikeback) was won by hip-hop crew, E.E.S.
The Homebake competition was won by a Canberra/Melbourne based band called Young + Restless
