The Inaugural Mâori Music Awards is a new initiative that seeks to develop, encourage and honour the achievements of outstanding traditional and contemporary musical compositions and performances annually.

This is the most prestigious music awards ever to acknowledge our Maori composers. With the success of the Waiata Maori Awards launch held in Palmerston North 2007, this year will see the first award's ceremony to be held on Wednesday, 12 November 2008 at the Hawkes Bay Opera House in Hastings.

THE MANDATE
The mandate of the Maori Music Awards is to produce and maintain a music competition open to all Maori music industry professionals i.e. all composers and artists. To have all entries secretly judged in a non-biased way by active members of the Maori music industry and audited by a chartered accountant, and to produce a gala award ceremony that will focus on the diversity and excellence of Maori Music in Aotearoa (New Zealand) featuring performances by current or past finalists and winners.

THE MISSION
It is the Mission of the Maori Music Awards to acknowledge and honour the keepers, teachers, promotors, creators and performers of Maori music; to continue to develop and promote the diversity of all Maori music; to showcase and celebrate the excellence of Maori music; to recognise the unique vision of Maori composers and musicians; and to enrich this rich cultural voice.
