Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards spokesperson Adam Holt says it’s important for technical experts to be recognised.
“2003 was another huge year for local music and a key part of this ongoing momentum is the creative role video and production play within the industry,” Mr Holt says.
“It is only appropriate these people, who essentially work behind the scenes, are given the recognition they deserve and it is our pleasure to honour their work.”
The Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards take place at an industry-only function in Auckland on September 22.
