The Aotearoa Music Awards (formerly the New Zealand Music Awards, and colloquially known as The Tūīs),<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> conferred annually by Recorded Music NZ, honour outstanding artistic and technical achievements in the recording industry. The awards are among the most significant that a group or artist can receive in New Zealand music, and have been presented annually since 1965. The awards show is presented by Recorded Music NZ. A range of award sponsors and media partners support the event each year.

History and overview

Template:See also

The first awards for New Zealand recorded music were the Loxene Golden Disc awards, launched in 1965. The awards were created by soap powder manufacturer Reckitt & Colman's advertising agency, with support from the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC), the New Zealand Federation of Phonographic Industries and the Australasian Performing Rights Society (APRA), with the awards named after Reckitt & Colman's anti-dandruff shampoo, Loxene.<ref name=nzhistory>Template:Cite web</ref>

While initially only one prize was given, other awards were added, including categories for record cover, recording artist of the year, and a producer award. From 1970, two awards were given—one to a solo artist, the other to a group however there was still just one supreme award, selected from these two.<ref name=AudioCulture>Template:Cite web</ref>

The Loxene Golden Disc awards continued until 1972 when the New Zealand Federation of Phonographic Industry decided to institute its own system; these awards became known as the Recording Arts Talent Awards (RATA). From 1978 the awards became known as the RIANZ Awards after the NZFPI changed its name to the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ).

In 1996 and 1997 the awards were merged with the Entertainer of the Year Awards and were known as the Clear Music and Entertainment Awards, sponsored by Clear Communications. From 1998 the awards reverted to music only, with the name going back to the New Zealand Music Awards and the award trophy nicknamed the Tui.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Also in 1999 Coca-Cola New Zealand became the naming rights sponsor of the awards, known as the Coca-Cola New Zealand Music Awards for one year only.<ref name="New Zealand Music Awards 1999">Template:Cite web</ref>

Since 2004, the show's principal sponsor has been Vodafone New Zealand. With Vodafone's sponsorship, the awards became known as the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards (VNZMA's).<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 2008 the awards ceremony moved to Vector Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. Prior to this move the event was primarily invitation only, and the increased size of the Vector Arena enabled the event to be attended both by invitation and by the public through sale tickets. While the Loxene Golden Disc award was televised in the 1970s, broadcasting of the contemporary award ceremony started in 2004.<ref name="nzhistory"/><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In 2020, the awards were renamed the Aotearoa Music Awards; its acronym doubly serves to mean a waka's outrigger (Template:Lang), reflecting the awards' goal of supporting the local music industry.<ref name="2020 announcement">Template:Cite news</ref>

No public or televised ceremony was held for the 2022 awards due concerns around the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2023, no awards were held, due to RMNZ choosing to review the format. From 2024, the awards were moved from November to May to coincide with New Zealand Music Month; nominations for the 2024 awards, held 30 May, had an extended eligibility period dating back to 2022.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

New Zealand Music Hall of Fame

Template:Main Created in 2007 in conjunction with the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA), the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame pays tribute to those who have "shaped, influenced and advanced popular music in New Zealand." Two musicians or groups are inducted into the hall each year, one at the APRA Silver Scroll Awards, decided by APRA, and the other is the winner of the Legacy Award at the Aotearoa Music Awards, selected by Recorded Music NZ.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Critics Choice award

Template:Main

Awarded from 2010 until 2016, the Critics' Choice Prize was given to artists who were expected to be successful in the music industry in the future. To be eligible for the award, an artist must have neither released a studio album nor have been nominated for a New Zealand Music Award in the past.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
