SUNSHINE COAST MUSIC AWARDS 2026

ARTWORK OF THE YEAR

NOMINATIONS CLOSE MARCH 20

This award recognises the creative visual contributions that enhance the music experience, and include artworks such as posters, cover art, merchandise designs and film clips.

Judges will consider the cohesive connection between the art and the musical work it represents. They will consider the creativity, uniqueness, and impact of the artwork.
This award is for one project rather than a portfolio of work. Judges will be looking for an artwork that demonstrates excellence in its field.
