If you have written a song during 2018 that might fit into one of the following genre categories, you could be eligible to enter one of these upcoming song awards.
Entries are now open for APRA Best Country Song, APRA Best Jazz Composition, and APRA Best Children's Song.
They are all free to enter and you can enter as many
categories as you like. This is different from the 'artist' awards administered
by Recorded Music NZ in which you pay to enter and can only choose one genre
category.
Entries for the Recorded Music NZ Best Country Music Artist, Best Jazz Artist, and Best Children's Artist are also open, as well as the NZ On Air Best Children's Music Video.
