Entries for Australia’s only Truly Independent music awards, Musicoz 2010, are now open. Celebrating the best independent music from across the country, the Musicoz Awards are now in their 9th year with 2010 looking to be the best show yet.

The independent music scene in Australia is a thriving and ever-growing part of the wider music community with over 14,000 artists playing more than 75,000 shows a year and recording in excess of 85,000 songs. The Musicoz-Truly Independent Awards highlights the enormous amount of talent and diversity within the Australian music scene.

“Musicoz is a great initiative and gives many opportunities to young up and coming artists”, says Jonathan (Bliss ‘n Eso) who are just one of a long list of Musicoz Award winners who have enjoyed the exposure, credibility and developmental help that only these awards can deliver.

Other previous winners including, Cog, Bluejuice, Mammal, Borne and Felicity Urquhart , have all used the Musicoz Awards as a launch-pad to further their music careers and benefited from the largest prize pool for any Australian music awards program. These prizes range from studio time and musical gear through to airplay and marketing packages.

With judges from across the entire music industry and categories for virtually every genre of music, all independent acts have a chance to be recognised. Major sponsors and broadcast partners for this year include heavyweights such as MTV, NOVA, News Limited, The Music Network and Bigpond Music.

Entries close October 31st 2009 with all submissions via The Musicoz - Truly Independent website: www.musicoz.org
