BBCMC - 2013 WA COUNTRY MUSIC AWARD NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN

6/07/2012 10:48:00 AM by Justine Thornley

The Boyup Brook Country Music Festival is Western Australia’s premier country music event, and has developed a reputation as one of Australia’s top country music festivals. The festival attracts performers and audiences from around Australia and overseas.

The Western Australian Country Music Awards are held as a Gala Event staged during the Boyup Brook Country Music Festival annually. Beginning in 1987, the Awards are a part of the Country Music Club’s long history of recognising and supporting Western Australian artists.

Entry forms for the Go For 2&5® 2013 Western Australian Country Music Awards are available now - entries close 30th September 2012. Entries are open to professional and amateur artists residing in WA who are serious about pursuing a career in country music.

The Awards are divided into three sections. Passionate songwriters, both adults and junior, aspiring to tell their story in song, are encouraged to enter the Songwriter Awards. New and developing Western Australian country music performers may be eligible to enter the Country Music Development Awards for WA Country Music Best Teenage Artist, WA Country Music Best Subteen Artist and WA Best New Country Talent. The senior Western Australian Country Music Awards categories include WA Country Music Best Group/Duo, WA Country Music Best Male Artist, WA Country Music Best Female Artist, WA Country Music Independent Single of the Year, WA Country Music Album of the Year and WA Country Music Video of the Year.

Finalists are selected by a panel of experienced judges, and will be invited to participate in the 2013 Boyup Brook Country Music Festival. With a top line-up each year vying for these Awards it confirms the continued growth in the interest and accessibility of country music on Australia.

The Western Australian Country Music Awards are special because they give acknowledgement and recognition of artists in our state. With the country music industry often being largely associated with the eastern states, these hard working and talented people would often otherwise go unrecognised. Past winners of WA Country Music Awards include Ronni Rae Rivers, The Sunny Cowgirls, Rose Carleo, Connie Kis Andersen, Jonny Taylor and Chelsea Basham. Many Award winners have gone on to be a part of the Tamworth Country Music Camerata, Tamworth Country Music College, Star Maker and even Australian Idol and have gained all of this with support from the Country Music Club of Boyup Brook.

Entry forms are available online at countrymusicwa.com.au or by ringing the Boyup Brook Country Music Club on 08 9755 1657. Entries close Sunday 30 September, 2012.
