The South Australian Music Awards, also known as SA Music Awards, commonly SAM Awards, formerly Fowler's Live Music Awards (FLMA), are annual awards that exist to recognise, promote and celebrate excellence in the South Australian contemporary music industry. They take place in Adelaide, South Australia every November. The venue has varied over the years.

History[edit]

The inaugural South Australian Music Awards took place in November 2015, after having been known as the Fowler's Live Music Awards (FLMA) from 2012 to 2014, when custodianship was handed to Music SA.[1] Fowler's Live (since 2018 and as of 2021 Lion Arts Factory) was a popular Adelaide live music venue. Major partners are as of 2019 the South Australian Government's Music Development Office (in the Department of Innovation & Skills[2]), The Music, Moshtix & Australian Hotels Association.[3][4]

Eligibility and awards[edit]

Eligibility[edit]

All applicants must have commercially released the entered work between the eligible period of 1 August to 31 July (of the award year). All applicants must have at least 50% of their band members residing in South Australia or they must identify and promote themselves as being South Australian. All applicants should be registered with APRA AMCOS. All entered works must be original compositions.[5]

Award winners[edit]

People's choice awards are 100% voted for by the public via themusic.com.au. For the Industry and Major awards, a judging panel consisting of ten local and five national industry peers is selected each year. The panel includes a diverse range of gender, age and culture.[6]
