Australian Women in Music Awards

Twenty-two categories spanning all music genres and behind-the-scenes industry roles will be presented this year. 

The 2025 Australian Women in Music Awards (AWMA) winners were announced at a star-studded ceremony in Brisbane last night.

The “playing field for women and creative minorities remains vastly inequitable," and we find ourselves at "a critical juncture,” she says.

Nominations for the fifth annual AWMAs are now open, and have a cut-off date of May 28, 2024, organisers have announced.

“It was amazing. We tackled Australia and we did really well together,” Amorosi recounts of her journey with Vicki Gordon.

Australian Women in Music Awards (AWMAs) and ARIA announced an exciting partnership this week. 

The Australian Women in Music Awards now have a new category - the Women in Heavy Music Award.

When two people from the music industry - who are not gatekeepers, who are not on the boards of our industry bodies - win an award for change-making in music, something is seriously wrong.

The AWMAs, which returned after skipping 2020 and 2021 due to pandemic, is “the change maker,” says founder Vicki Gordon.

Love For My Sisters will showcase First Nations women who are exceptional artists, musicians and DJs in May.
