The Northern Territory Indigenous Music Awards have gone national becoming the ‘National Indigenous Music Awards‘ (NIMAs). The awards event, known as “the ARIAs of Indigenous Music”, is now in its 8th year. The change means that there are now three new national award categories. Besides providing a platform for Indigenous musicians outside the NT, these developments also bring greater exposure to artists from the Northern Territories.
Nominations for the NIMAs are currently open and will close on July 22nd, 2011. Any individual or organisation working in the Australian Music Industry can submit artists/acts (signed or unsigned) for nomination.
The Awards Ceremony will be held at Darwin’s Gardens Amphitheatre on Friday 19 Aug 2011.
