An inclusive event

It’s time
NOW is the time to stand united for positive change in the Australian Music Industry.
“Women in heavy music are fighting for the scraps of the scraps…
It is easy to feel alone in male-dominated fields and AWMA brings together an inspiring group of women to celebrate one another. In turn this can only strengthen the music scene through our unique voices, experiences and perspectives.
Thank you.”
– Emmy Mack. Winner inaugural Heavy Music Award 2023.
“The next positive step in creating a more equal playing field for all. What a momentous platform to shine a light on the amazing women in our industry”
_ Izzi Manfredi
Recognition
Keeping gender on the agenda!
The biggest names in the Australian music industry have joined forces with Australian Women in Music to support the Australian Women in Music Awards.
AWMA turns the spotlight on women, gender diverse, female artists and music practitioners across all areas of industry and all genres of music.
AWMA recognises the vast contribution of First Nations and multicultural performers and music practitioners, focusing on excellence in artistry, inclusivity, technical and production skills, leadership, cross-cultural development, songwriting, music journalism, music photography, film making, classical music, opera, heavy music, humanitarian work and more.
” I know that there are vast numbers of men who support women and huge numbers of women who want more so together let’s create the mother of all paradigm shifts.
_ Jenny Morris
Creating My Own Path
AWMA gives me the hope that change is possible.
We are still asking the same questions and wanting the same level of basic safety, let alone recognition and representation.
I operate largely as an independent creating my own pathway as a result of my uncomfortable and unsafe experiences within the music business itself.
