Australian Super Star 8

Australian Super Star 8, often referred to as ASS #8, was the eighth edition of the Australian national selection, Australian Super Star. It started on 29 May 2022. The winner of the competition was TBD with the song TBD, who represented Australia in the Own Asiavision Song Contest 30.

Format
The Australian main broadcasters, ABC and SBS decided to collaborate together to celebrate country's 30th participation in the contest. For the jubilee edition of the Own Asiavision Song Contest, it was decided that the format of the selection will be changed compared to its traditional way where only one live show was held. Instead of one round, the broadcasters organized two semi-finals, and allowed a bigger number of participants in the competition. Therefore, a total of 20 artists and songs competed, 8 of which made it to the final.

Competing entries
On 24 May 2021, ABC and SBS opened a public submission window to select the contestants. Upon closing the submission period, the entries were reviewed by a professional jury. Most of the songs were revealed one night before the first semi-final, however some of the songs were leaked a few days before the shows started.
