CONTENT COURTESY AUSTRALIAN WOMEN IN MUSIC AWARDS
Australian Women in Music Awards is one of the most important events on the Australian music industry calendar, acknowledging the vast contributions and shining a light on the incredible accomplishments of women across all areas of industry from onstage to those working behind the scenes, technicians, leaders, elders, performers, song writers, producers, engineers, film-makers and photographers, music journalists, stylists, managers and more.
Nominations for 18 AWMA categories are now open and close on 26 April, with the Award Ceremony, Concert and Conference to be held in Meanjin/Brisbane on September 26 and 27.
Founding Executive Producer and Program Director Vicki Gordon said: “AWMA has become a powerful industry leader, to connect people and communities and to break down the systemic issues which have held women back for decades. Through AWMA we have effectively raised the collective voice demanding equitable access, safety and recognition for women in the Australian music industry. This is reflected in the 936 women nominated, the 136 finalists and each of the 50 recipients who have been recognised for their extraordinary achievements since our inaugural event in 2018.”
This year AWMA has once again enlisted an impressive panel of Jurors with representation across a diverse range of music disciplines and cultures. Dr Diana Tolmie, Senior Lecturer of Professional Practice at the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University and a D’Addario International Artist, returns as Chair of the 2023 Juror Council.
AWMA welcomes nominations from non-binary, gender nonconforming, and women-identifying music workers.
