As the 11th Australian Music Prize draws closer, the final longlist is set to be announced in the coming days.
Established in 2005, the aim of the AMP is to encourage excellence in Australian music by recognising and rewarding emerging local talent, with $30,000 in prize money up for grabs.
The awards have honoured notable Aussie artists over the years including The Jezebels, Big Scary, and most recently Remi. This year, you'll note serial-over-achiever Courtney Barnett on the list, along with Marlon Williams, High Tension and Hermitude.
Applicants are required to submit an email to info@australianmusicprize.com detailing the artist name, album title, release date and an online link to where the judges can listen to the album.
