The APRA Music Awards are back for 2025 and we are calling on APRA AMCOS members to submit their songs for consideration for the Most Performed Blues & Roots Work.

Nominees and subsequent winners are determined by performance activity across broadcast, digital downloads, streaming and live revenue sources, as reflected by earnings, according to APRA's statistical analysis for the relevant 12-month period.

If you have had a Blues & Roots release between July 1, 2023 and September 30, 2024 and it has been played on the radio, broadcast on TV, digitally downloaded, streamed or performed live, you are eligible to submit your works.

Songwriters should provide the following details:

  • Album title
  • Song title with composer details
  • Date of release

If you need to submit multiple albums, you may fill out another form once you have submitted this form. This also applies if your album has more than 15 tracks - simply fill out a second form.

Deadline for submissions is Thursday 13 February 2025.
Nominations for the Most Performed Blues & Roots Work will be announced in April, with the winner acknowledged at the Awards ceremony in April 2025 in Naarm/Melbourne.

All queries should be directed to [email protected].
