Music News - Entries now open for the APRA Silver Scroll Awards
23 June 2005 - 0 Comments
Entries are now open for the 2005 Silver Scroll Awards. Elected APRA members are invited to submit their works for the Silver Scroll Award, the APRA Maioha Award and the SOUNZ Contemporary Award. The awards recognise creative excellence in the fields of popular music, Maori music, and contemporary classical music, respectively.
“The Silver Scroll Awards are all about, and for, the songwriters. The awards night is unique for the way it brings together songwriters, composers and musicians from a huge range of musical genres and backgrounds to celebrate the best of New Zealand music” says Anthony Healey, APRA’s NZ Director.
2005 marks the 40th presentation of the Silver Scroll Award, New Zealand’s pre-eminent songwriting award. Since it was first presented in 1965 to Kent Healey for “Teardrops” the award has acknowledged the songwriting achievements of many talented New Zealanders, including Bic Runga, Neil Finn, Bill Urale (King Kapisi), Dave Dobbyn, Shona Laing, Hammond Gamble, Don McGlashan and Greg Johnson. Last year Malo Luafutu (Scribe) and Pete Wadams (P-Money) won with “Not Many”.
Applications close 22 July 2005 for the Silver Scroll Award and the APRA Maioha Award, and 15 July 2005 for the SOUNZ Contemporary Award. Entries will then be judged by separate, genre-specific panels. Commercial success is not a consideration. Finalists will be revealed on Friday 19 August and the winners will be announced at the APRA Silver Scroll Awards on September 12 at The Auckland Town Hall.
APRA is a non-profit organisation administering the rights of the world’s composers, songwriters and publishers in Australasia. APRA represents over 38,000 writers and publishers through direct membership, with close to 5,000 NZ members, and over 2 million writers and publishers throughout the world under reciprocal agreements with other service organisations.
