The winner of the APRA Silver Scroll Award is decided by the votes of APRA’s members - over 10,000 New Zealand songwriters and composers. Voting for the award is now open, and closes at midnight on Sunday 9th August.

“Little known folk songs to powerhouse pop anthems, these songs are a reflection of the quality and diversity of music being created in this country.” says APRA’s Anthony Healey “It’s a great list that demonstrates the power and magic of a well-written song. For the last 50 years APRA AMCOS has been supporting and celebrating original music in this country – we look forward to continuing this tradition into the future”

2015 marks the 50th presentation of the APRA Silver Scroll Award, and as a part of the celebrations the ‘Lost Scroll’ of 1981 – the APRA Silver Scroll Award that was never awarded – will also be presented. All singles released in the 1981 eligibility period have been narrowed down to the Top 5 songs, and now, alongside the award for 2015, APRA members will also decide the winner of the 1981 APRA Silver Scroll Award.

The 1981 APRA Silver Scroll Award Top 5 are:

As a part of the celebrations an iconic New Zealand songwriter will also be inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame. 

The APRA Silver Scroll Awards will be held at Vector Arena in Auckland on Thursday 17th September 2015. A big thanks to our sponsors Becks and Peter Yealands Wines.
