Nominations Open For 2022 Art Music Awards
Nominations are open across a range of categories for the 2022 Art Music Awards. Nominations are open from Tuesday 1 March until Wednesday 23 March, 5PM AEDT.
APRA AMCOS and the Australian Music Centre (AMC) are calling on members to nominate their peers for these awards which are presented each year with the aim of honouring the music, the people, and the organisations that make up Australia’s diverse and vibrant art music landscape. The awards recognise achievement in the composition, performance, education and presentation of Australian art music (contemporary classical music, contemporary jazz, improvised music, experimental music and sound art).
The Awards process begins with members completing a simple online nomination submission in support of an individual or organisation. Works, events, performances, activities and other musical events that may have adapted to pandemic restrictions – eg, by live or digital performance, video/audio broadcast, or commercial release – made available for the first time in 2021 are eligible for nomination.
After nominations close, nominees will be notified to complete their submission for finalist consideration, with the awards set to take place in Melbourne in August.
