The Lighthouse Award

Established in memory of Linda Gebar, The Lighthouse Award grants $5,000 to an artist manager who identifies as a woman or non-binary person and who exhibits passion, creativity and integrity. Open to applicants Australia-wide.

Linda Gebar died tragically in October 2008. She was one of the few women in music management in the 90s and worked with The Killjoys, Frente and The Blackeyed Susans. Linda was a truly passionate believer in local music and the community that surrounded it.

This memorial award exists to continue Linda’s work, supporting forward-thinking managers who are dedicated to Australian music.

2025 applications have closed. The winner will be announced 20 April 2025 at the 2025 AAM Awards.
