Wiltshire Music Events UK in conjunction with Devizine, have created The Wiltshire Music Awards, an annual award ceremony reflecting and commemorating musical talent within the county.
The awards will acknowledge and celebrate the creativity, innovation and dedication of musicians, music promoters, and venues in Wiltshire. Nominations for the ceremony will open from 1 May 2025, and will close on 10 June 2025.
A spokesperson said: “We are excited to unveil the categories, which reflect the diverse ways people bring music to life within their respective communities, county-wide.
“These awards will recognise the individuals, groups and organisations whose efforts make a real difference. If you know someone you believe deserves recognition, or want to showcase your group, this is your chance to give them the spotlight they deserve.”
Wiltshire Music Events are calling for anyone promoting music locally to get involved and help create diversity and coverage for their own communities. A panel of professionals from across the county will be elected to assist in judging the nominations. On Saturday 25 October an award ceremony will take place at the Corn Exchange, Devizes.
A spokesperson said: “Music has the power to unite communities, foster creativity, and change lives. The Wiltshire Music Awards will honour those who make this possible and provide a platform to showcase to local talents. Whether you’re a performer, organiser, or supporter, these awards are an opportunity to highlight the hard work, that often goes unseen.
“To receive an award will bring more than just a trophy. It will elevate profiles, help with funding applications, and energise the community.
“Nominating will be easy and online. A website for the awards is being designed where everyone will be able to cast their votes. You will be able to submit as many entries as you like. Local businesses will have the opportunity to sponsor categories. There is plenty of time to recognise the people and projects which inspires you.”
