National Song Contest
In 2010, St. Martin submitted and entry for the upcoming National Song Contest. The song, "Never Again Without You," was composed by St. Martin's father, with Glenna co-writing the lyrics with him. The entry was chosen as one of 40 songs to compete in the semi-finals in November. At the third semi-final on 20 November, St. Martin's performance of "Never Again Without You" was ranked second by the jury, but was the overwhelming favorite of the viewers, receiving almost 42% of the votes and guaranteeing a place in the grand final.

At the grand final on 11 December, St. Martin was ranked only seventh out of fifteen songs by the juries, but received a record-breaking 117,575 votes, enough to edge her into first place with 148 points, just six ahead of runners-up Cadence in Time.

Following her success at the National Song Contest, St. Martin plans to release a debut album in Spring 2011.
