Please note voting is now closed.

The TMN 30 Under 30 Readers’ Choice Award is still up for grabs with just a handful of votes separating 1st and 10th place so far.

And it’s even closer between the top five, with less than 2% separating Tahlia Ryan (Mushroom Music Publishing), Elinor Williams (TMRW Music), Steel Hanf (United Group), Udaravi Widanapathirana (su:ku:ya) and Jessica Iuliano (Media Arts Lawyers).

The close races comes despite over 1,500 votes being cast as of 9am today. It really is still anyone’s race.

Tomorrow morning, the final TMN 30 Under 30 list will be revealed based on the extensive judging from our superstar panel.

Voting for the Readers’ Choice poll, however, will stay open a little longer until 11:59pm AEST tomorrow, Thursday May 20. The winner will be revealed on Friday.

Anyone on the TMN 30 Under 30 shortlist is eligible to win the Readers’ Choice Award, even if they don’t make the final 30 revealed tomorrow.

Readers have five votes each to spread amongst the 50 finalists, who hail from over 40 different music businesses and organisations within the wider entertainment industry.

Registration via the Take 2 Media awards platform is required to vote in the Readers’ Choice Poll. Voting is open now and closes at 11:59pm AEST this Thursday, May 20.

Last year’s highly competitive Readers’ Choice Poll – won by Vampr’s Josh Simons – collected over 3,000 unique votes, with just 16 points separating him and runner up, Jayden Bath.

The national awards program is supported by APRA AMCOS, MTV, Radio Today, Sony Music Australia, TikTok and Universal Music Australia, and offers future industry leaders the chance to showcase their achievements and propel their careers forward.
