APRA’s Screen Music Awards will host the APRA Screen Music Awards in Sydney in December.
APRA AMCOS, together with the Australian Guild of Screen Composers, will announce the winners at the 13th awards at the State Theatre on December 9.
The APRA Screen Music awards has traditionally been held in November but this year moves t December to coincide with Tropfest, the world’s largest short film festival.
“What better way to highlight the significant role music plays in film, than by hosting the Screen Music Awards straight after Tropfest,” said APRA AMCOS CEO Brett Cottle. “We are delighted with the move and look forward to celebrating those talented composers who have achieved great milestones in bringing the stories we enjoy on screen, to life.”
The 2013 Screen Music Awards will honour Australian composers across 13 categories including compositions for documentaries, short films, mini-series, children’s television and feature film scores.
The nominees for the APRA Screen Music Awards will be announced on November 7.
