The Age Music Victoria Awards 2017 Nominees are here. Show us your hits.

These publicly voted awards will sit alongside acts nominated in 11 genre-specific gongs, which will be voted on by a select panel of industry experts.

On Wednesday 22 November during Melbourne Music Week, The Age Music Victoria Awards ceremony will pay tribute to musicians, venues, and festivals with an evening at 170 Russell complete with an essential After Party for awardees, nominees, music industry professionals and fans.
