For another year, Sydney’s FBi Radio have unleashed the nominees for the SMAC Awards. Celebrating the city’s artistic and creative community, the SMAC Awards will be returning to Carriageworks in January for the ceremony to be held on the 30th and broadcast live on FBi 94.5FM.
Among the nominees this year, Alex Cameron and Cloud Control are in with nods for Record of the Year with Forced Witness and Zone respectively, while Odette and Gussy stand strong alongside Okenyo, Touch Sensitive and Rainbow Chan for Best Song.
Members of the public can go into the running to win a double pass to the exclusive invite-only awards ceremony here, with performers and guests still to be announced.
The invite-only Awards ceremony will feature performances by a handful of 2017’s most groundbreaking artists, to be announced very soon. In the meantime, congratulations to the nominees, the full list of which can be seen below!
