The Sunshine Coast Music Awards return this year, with nominations officially open until March 13.
The continuation of the awards reflects the strength and momentum of the local music scene, Melissa O’Bryan, chair of the Sunshine Coast Music Industry Collective (SCMIC), says.
“SCMIC continues to make ground for the acknowledgement, connectivity and opportunities for our artists and allied industry here on the Coast,” she says.
Sophie Patrick, from Betty Taylor – winners of the 2025 Rising Star Award, Song of the Year and Live Act of the Year – says, “We are so lucky to be a part of a community that has so much homegrown talent, and so grateful we get to showcase what the Sunshine Coast has to offer.”
