NOW ACCEPTING ALBUM SUBMISSIONS FOR THE 21ST AMP
Do you know of a new Aussie release
that is eligible to become the best album of 2025
and WIN $50,000 prize money?
Let us know about it…
Commencing in 2005, the Australian Music Prize has provided a mouthpiece to the best albums in Australian contemporary music. Now in its 21st year, the prize is widely recognised as the most prestigious award for Australian recording artists.
The integrity of judging and prestige of this peer-voted prize is a major difference for the Soundmerch Australian Music Prize, focusing on creative merit over mainstream popularity. Inspired by the UK's coveted Mercury Prize, the Soundmerch AMP is Australia's most sought after achievement within the music community, honouring the album as an art form.
Judges have begun listening to eligible albums for the 21st Soundmerch AMP
This initial judging process will produce 50 Nominees. The Shortlist (9 best albums) will be announced late November, followed by The Winner announcement in early December.
The 21st Soundmerch AMP is open for Australian artist albums released 26.10.24 — 24.10.25
