Calling all First Nations Acts on Unearthed, we wanna add you to the NIMA's Line-Up
The National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMAs) are back this year on August 9th at Darwin's Amphitheatre and we're back once again to search for a First Nations act to include in the soon to be announced lineup!
It's one of the most prestigious nights in Australian music that celebrates First Nations music, culture and creatives and this year marks 21 years of recognising mob excellence.
Amongst the many awards that are on offer over the course of the night you'll be seeing performances from some of the biggest names in First Nations Music with the full lineup soon to be announced.
If 2024's lineup is anything to go off (Jessica Mauboy, Dan Sultan, 3%, Miss Kaninna, Birdz, Emily Wurramara and heaps more) then you already know how big of an opportunity this is and this years winner will be rubbing shoulders with some of the best of the best.
Last years winner Jamahl Yami tore the stage up with his breakout single Blood Majik and perhaps this year is YOUR year to get flown to Darwin for the night of nights. Oh yeah, did I mentioned you'll get flights and accom? Good stufffff.
The most important criteria of course is that you must be a First Nations artist. If that's you, then read the terms and conditions and get applying. This comp is open to every act on Unearthed across the country. You've got nothing to lose, everything to gain.
