Following a wildly successful inaugural year in 2018, the Australian Women in Music Awards will return on 8 and 9 October, shining a light once more on the incredible accomplishments of women across the Australian music industry. This year’s AWMAs are better and stronger, with three new award categories – including in the areas of classical music, music journalism and image making.
Last year’s event saw industry leaders and emerging Australian icons descend on the Brisbane Powerhouse and come away triumphant, with artists including Amy Shark, Jen Cloher and NGAIIRE all taking home awards, while performances by the likes of Kate Ceberano, Emily Wurramara, Katie Noonan, Adalita and Do Re Mi ensured that the inaugural Australian Women in Music Awards was one to remember.
NOMINATIONS OPEN
This year’s categories include three new awards for Excellence in Classical Music, Music Journalist Award and Excellence in Image Making. Producers, engineers, film makers, photographers, songwriters, industry leaders, artist managers and more are set to be acknowledged and celebrated in their own right at this year’s ceremony — recognition that has gone untapped in an industry built on creativity and strength.
TICKETS NOW ON SALE
Tickets to the 2019 AWMAs, to be held in Queensland at the Brisbane Powerhouse, are also on sale.
“Inclusivity is a major priority for AWMA. We are working closely with diverse groups of women across all areas of the industry, including First Nations and culturally diverse women, LGBTQI and many others” said Vicki Gordon AWMA Founding Executive Director.
