Nominations are now open for the 2025 Art Music Awards. APRA AMCOS and the Australian Music Centre (AMC) are calling on their members to nominate stand-out Australian art music makers, leaders, works and performances for the 2025 Art Music Awards.
Returning in 2025, the Art Music Awards provide a platform to unite and celebrate the national art music community, inclusive of creators and collaborators in contemporary music, jazz, improvised music, experimental music, and sound art. The awards honour excellence and impactful achievements in the composition, performance, education, and presentation of art music, as well as the passionate people behind it all. Finalists and winners are selected from nominations by industry peers and audience members alike.
Nominations are welcome across 14 categories for works, performances and projects from 2024. Previous winners include Nat Bartsch, James Ledger, Liza Lim, Matthias Schack-Arnott, and organisations such as Camerata-Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra, Moorambilla Voices, and Omega Ensemble.
The Art Music Awards also spotlight trailblazers of Australian art music, giving an ovation to individuals and organisations who have made a long-lasting impact within each state and territory, as well as nationally. Awards for music education and music in regional areas also highlight the power of music to inspire, connect and build strong communities.
The 2025 Art Music Awards will take place in Sydney in August. Event details to come.
