SUNSHINE COAST MUSIC AWARDS •

ACKNOWLEDGING THE YEAR'S MOST PASSIONATE PUNTER

This award celebrates a dedicated supporter of the Sunshine Coast music industry; the punters who show up, cheer loud, and keep our scene alive.

Because music doesn’t happen without you, we’re thrilled to recognise those who go above and beyond to support local artists and venues.

Judges will consider attendance at both local and touring shows across the Coast, advocacy for the local scene and its allied industries, championing of local artists, and financial support through purchasing music and merchandise.
