What a night!! 🤩✨😚👌🏼
Last night, hundreds of artists, venues, music workers, industry professionals, supporters and music lovers came together to celebrate the incredible talent, creativity and passion that fuels the Sunny Coast's music scene.
To our nominees, finalists and winners; congratulations! 🙌Thank you for the music, the performances, the recordings, the venues, the events, the countless hours behind the scenes, and your tireless dedication.
To everyone who attended, thank you for showing up, celebrating with us, and helping create such a warm, vibrant and supportive atmosphere throughout the evening.
A huge thank you to our live performers, presenters and contributors who helped make the night so memorable, and to our venue partner, the team at Banana Bender Hotel, for helping us bring the event to life.
To our sponsors; thank you for investing in local music and the people who make it happen. Your support allows us to recognise excellence, strengthen connections, and continue championing the Sunshine Coast music community.
And finally, thank you to the dedicated volunteers, committee members and hardworking team behind SCMIC who have spent countless hours planning, coordinating and delivering this event.
