2012 Musicoz Awards Entries - NOW OPEN!
Entries for Australia's only Truly Independent music awards, Musicoz 2012, are now open. Celebrating the best independent music from across the country, the Musicoz Awards are now in their 11th year with 2012 looking to be the best show yet.
The independent music scene in Australia is a thriving and ever-growing part of the wider music community with over 24,000 artists playing more than 95,000 shows a year and recording in excess of 115,000 songs. The Musicoz-Truly Independent Awards highlights the enormous amount of talent and diversity within the Australian music scene.
"Musicoz was a critical factor for Blue Juice", says Jake (Blue Juice) who are just one of a long list of Musicoz Award winners who have enjoyed the exposure, credibility and developmental help that only the Musicoz Awards continue to deliver.
Other previous winners including, Art Vs Science, The Jezabels, Cog, Bliss n Eso, Blue King Brown, Radio Ink, Fiona Joy Hawkins and Felicity Urquhart, have all used the Musicoz Awards as a launch-pad to further their music careers plus benefited from the recognition, exposure opportunities and the largest prize pool for any Australian music awards program. These prizes pack an industry punch with critical tools for artists and range from studio time, exposure opportunities, paid publishing / performance deals, musical gear through to airplay and marketing packages.
With judges from across the entire music industry and categories for virtually every genre of music, all independent acts have a chance to be recognised. The four/three Major Labels 46 artists have significant backing, so do not qualify for entry into the Musicoz Awards. Major sponsors and broadcast partners for this year include heavyweights such as BigPond, YouTube, MTV and Facebook.
Entries close March 31st 2012 with all submissions via The Musicoz - Truly Independent website: www.musicoz.org
