Vote in the 2013 SMAC Awards
Being award winners ourselves at somethingyousaid.com (did we mention that? Oh yeah, only like a gazillion times), we know how rockin in feels to be recognised and appreciated for one’s art. So we’re chuffed to see a bunch of people we really admire nominated for the upcoming SMAC awards in Sydney.
FBi Radio’s SMAC (Sydney Music, Art and Culture) Awards recognise and celebrate the standout musos, artists, performers, restaurants and events that have kept Sydney’s creative heart beating in 2013. Public voting is now open and will run until 5pm December 27. With over 50 finalists across 10 categories recognising creatives from all of Sydney’s cultural corners, it’s time to let the world know who you think has been trailblazing in 2013.
Congrats to all the nominees. There are so many creatives there that we know and love (a special big up goes out to long-term friends of Something You Said: The Preatures, Kirin J Callinan, Bloods, Elizabeth Rose and Brendan Maclean).
The awards ceremony will be held on January 14 and broadcast live on FBi 94.5FM and online, featuring performances from some of our music nominees. A handful of tickets to the event and other rad prizes can be won simply by voting – so jump online and nominate who you think deserves a SMAC.
