Festival and Venue entries are judged using these five equally valued criteria:
01.
Concept
02.
Line Up
The venue/festival predominantly showcases original live music and books gigs in a way that fosters diversity and inclusivity.
03.
Musician Focus
The venue/festival treats musicians with respect, offering fair splits and/or guarantees (ie artist can make a profit) and has secured the required OneMusic license/s.
04.
Quality
The sound system, event/festival set up and overall experience is of high quality, including efforts towards environmental sustainability and accessibility.
05.
Execution
The venue/festival delivers great music in a safe and inclusive environment for musicians, patrons and staff.
The above criteria apply to the Venue & Festival Awards. Subject to specific eligibility requirements of each Award, each venue may only enter into ONE Venue Award and each festival may only enter into ONE Festival Award. Different festivals from the same promoter can be entered in the same category and different venues with the same owner can be entered in the same category.
