Music Victoria's first-ever online awards event is set to take place next week.
The annual Music Victoria Awards will now be split into two ceremonies, the first taking place next week and focusing on industry awards.
The live-stream presentation will take place on Thursday 8 October and will be hosted by regular Music Victoria Awards hosts, RRR’s Chris Gill and PBS Radio’s Lyndelle Wilkinson.
Seven of 21 industry-voted award winners will be announced on the night, with the year's Music Victoria's Hall Of Fame inductees also to be announced.
The remaining nominees for the industry and public-voted categories will also be revealed during the event.
Awards for the evening will include the Outstanding Woman in Music Award (as voted by the Music Victoria Board) and the debut Best Producer Award, as well as previously recognised categories for Best Regional and Outer Suburban Venue (under 50 gigs per year), Best Regional and Outer Suburban Venue (over 50 gigs per year), Best Venue (under 500 capacity), Best Venue (over 500 capacity) and Best Festival.
The Music Victoria Awards will take place on Wednesday 9 December, while next week's live-streamed event will be free to attend. Head here for all the info on both events.
