National Indigenous Music Awards 2015
The National Indigenous Music Awards 2015 were the 12th annual National Indigenous Music Awards. The nominations were announced on 10 July 2015 and the awards ceremony was held on 22 July 2015.[1][2] For the first time in National Indigenous Music Awards history two artists were awarded the Artist of the Year prize; Jessica Mauboy and Dan Sultan. An equal number of votes came in from the voting panel for each artist and the decision was made to honor both parties with this prestigious national award.[1] Executive Director of MusicNT & NIMA, Mark Smith, said "This year's finalists offer a diverse breath of fresh air within the mainstream music industry. They integrate a rich cultural heritage that illustrates an intimate connection to place and a respect for environment that resonates with the wider community. NIMAs is fast becoming known as the best event in the country for cross-cultural engagement; this is something we can all be very proud of".[3] Performers
