Nominations are now open for the WA NAIDOC Music Awards

The annual WA NAIDOC Music Awards seek to recognise the outstanding contributions that Indigenous Australian musicians make to improve the lives of Indigenous people in their communities, and more broadly, Australia.

Today the nominations are officially open, and we also have confirmation the awards ceremony will be taking place at Freo Social on Friday September 6th.

The WA NAIDOC Music Awards provide emerging Indigenous artists the opportunity to showcase their talent to their community and the music industry as a whole.

The NAIDOC Music Awards is set to feature a range of performances and special guests. It will see live performances by alt-rockers The Struggling Kings as well as hip hop MC Flewnt. Singer-songwriter and renowned didgeridoo player Phil Walley-Stack will also be performing and heading up the evening as the NAIDOC Music Awards emcee.

Of course, the main focus will be the announcement of the NAIDOC music award recipients. Winners will be announced from a range of categories including:

– Best Song
– Best Album
– The Jason Bartlett Award for Best Vocalist
– Best Male Artist
– Best Female Artist
– Best Music Video
– Undiscovered Artist
