The 2024 Screen Music Awards has recognised the changing landscape for the business and has added three new categories for 2024.
This year’s Screen Music Awards will include Best Music for a Video Game or Other Interactive Media, Emerging Screen Composer of the Year and Best Music for Unscripted & Reality Television.
Best Music for a Video Game or Other Interactive Media recognises the artistic excellence, impact and commercial success of game composers.
The Emerging Screen Composer of the Year award is designed to discover, support and accelerate the careers of promising screen music creators and compliments the Distinguished Services to the Australian Screen honour.
Best Music for Unscripted & Reality Television has also been added to recognise the growing sector of unscripted reality TV.
Additionally, the Best Music for a Television Series category has been split into two categories: Best Music for a Television Comedy and Best Music for a Television Drama.
Dale Cornelius, President of AGSC, said: “These new award categories are a vital addition to the Screen Music Awards, acknowledging our industry’s full spectrum of talent by shining a well-deserved spotlight on the diverse range of work by composers contributing to Australia’s vibrant screen landscape.”
Susie Youssef will return as Host, Erkki Veltman will return as Music Director.
