Countrytown is proud to announce the very first Countrytown Awards, giving country music fans across Australia their chance to vote in the country’s largest public country music poll.
Not only will your votes impact your favourite artists, but you’ll go into the draw to win a double pass to the sold-out CMC Rocks this March. Simply log in to Countrytown and tell us who rocked your world over the last year.
The Countrytown Awards will host eleven awards, including International Artist of the Year as well as the big one– Entertainer of the Year for the Aussie artist who best brings together the art of performance, recorded music and career achievement.
“The Countrytown Awards are about putting the power in the hands of the fans, creating a true census of Countrytown readers, taking the pulse of who has excelled over the previous year,” said Countrytown Content Director Megan Hopkins.
“Australian country music has never been stronger, with so many artists breaking through domestically and having a real crack at Nashville. The Countrytown Awards are here to complement and celebrate the great work our labels, festivals, touring companies and artists have done over the last year and create a historic record of what the Australian public loved over the last year.”
The winners will be announced on the Countrytown website as well as at an exclusive lunchtime event for artists, industry and a select handful of readers to be held on March 20 in Brisbane. The only way to get there is to win tickets via Countrytown, so keep your eyes peeled for your chance to be there.
