It's that time of the year again - nominations are open for the 2012 Music Managers Awards! These are the awards celebrating the people behind the scenes who are doing the hard yards for some of your favourite New Zealand artists and we need your help to recognise who you think are the most deserving music managers.


Nominations are open now for the following categories:
Manager of the Year
International Achievement
Self Managed Artist
Upcoming Manager
Breakthrough Manager


There is also four brand new categories open for nominations this year, celebrating everything from the best independent tours of 2011, to the good old Kiwi number 8 wire approach to promotion:


Best Venue
Best Independent Tour
Online Achievement
Outside the Box Award


This year for the first time non MMF members are able to be nominated in any category. However, similar to the New Zealand Music Awards, non member nominees will be required to pay an entry fee which will include a 12 month membership to the MMF.

To nominate a manager, email lorraine@mmf.co.nz with the artists name and the manager along with the categories that you would like to nominate them for.

The deadline for nominations is March 31, 2012. The nominations will be shortlisted by a panel of Music Industry experts and the finalists will be announced at the beginning of New Zealand Music Month. 

All winners will be celebrated at the awards ceremony on Wednesday 16 May at the Backbeat Bar in Auckland.
Prize packages to be announced shortly.
