PRESS RELEASE:
The National Live Music Awards (NLMAs) - the only national celebration and recognition for the live contemporary music industry in Australia - are pleased to confirm they have extended nomination applications by one week.
Applications are now available on the website until August 7, for any Australian artist who wishes to be considered for the awards. Events, Festival and Venues will also be able to contact the event organisers for consideration until this time.
Applications are not requisite of nomination, and there are no fees, however this has been set up to ensure all performing Australian artists have an equal chance at being considered for nomination by our judges.
The 2017 NLMAs will be held on Thursday December 7 2017, with the gala event moving from Sydney to Melbourne. The gala event will offer VIP and GA tickets, with over 20 awards handed out for national and Victorian recognition, alongside special performances and a keynote speech.
Ensuring every State and Territory in the country is covered, simultaneous satellite events will be held once again in Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide, which will see the local State and Territory Awards handed out alongside a slew of performances and DJ sets. Launceston, Alice Springs and Fremantle will be host cities for the first time.
That’s eight events, in all eight state and territories, all happening on the same night, at the same time - December 7 2017 from 6pm.
The first annual event in November 2016 attracted over 1,000 attendees around Australia, with thousands viewing online with a reach of millions as the event trended nationally on Twitter and Facebook. Ngaiire took out three awards on the night, including Live Voice of the Year, while The Smith Street Band won Live Act of the Year. Events Dark Mofo and St Jerome’s Laneway Festival also walked away with multiple trophies.
The full list of winners from 2016, as well as further details about the 2017 event, can be found on the official NLMA’s website.
Venues and ticketing information, as well as the announcement of new categories and public voting details, will be revealed later in the year.
