These awards include “Most Performed Australian Work of the Year”, “Most Performed Australian Work Overseas”, “Most Performed Foreign Work”, “Most Performed Jazz Work”, “Most Performed Country Work” and “Most Performed Dance Work”.Art Music Awards (with AMC)[edit]In 2001, APRA joined forces with the Australian Music Centre (AMC) to present awards for Australian classical music, known as Classical Music Awards. The AMC had been presenting annual awards for classical music since 1988, apart from a 1993\u20131995 hiatus due to funding cuts. The participation of APRA helped to secure the future of the awards, which are the only Australian awards for contemporary Australian classical music. This award has been won by well-known composers including Brenton Broadstock, Brett Dean, Ross Edwards, Georges Lentz, Liza Lim, Richard Mills, and Peter Sculthorpe. After another hiatus in 2010, the event returned as the Art Music Awards the following year, restructured and with two new categories.[3]The awards now cover classical, jazz and improvised music, experimental music and sound art, recognising achievement in composition, performance, education and presentation. As of 2020[update],[4] the current award structure recognises eleven annual awards and Luminary Awards for sustained contribution (nationally and for each state and territory) in Australian art music. There is also a discretionary award, The Richard Gill Award for Distinguished Services to Australian Music.[5]Richard Gill Award for Distinguished Services to Australian Music[edit]Originally named The Distinguished Services to Australian Music Award,[6] from 2019 it was renamed in honour of Australian conductor and educator Richard Gill (1941\u00a0\u2013 2018).[7] It is determined by APRA’s Board of Writer and Publisher Directors and the Australian Music Centre Board for a lifetime contribution to the art music community.Screen Music Awards (with AGSC)[edit]The annual Screen Music Awards were first presented in 2002 by APRA and AMCOS in conjunction with the Australian Guild of Screen Composers (AGSC). The ceremony, held in November, acknowledges excellence and innovation in the field of screen composition, and as of 2019[update] covers 13 categories.[8]International Achievement Award \u2013 David HirschfelderBest Feature Film Score \u2013 Alan John for The BankBest Soundtrack Album \u2013 Paul Kelly, Mairead Hannan, Kev Carmody, John Romeril, Deirdre Hannan and Alice Garner for One Night the MoonInternational Achievement Award \u2013 Bruce SmeatonBest Feature Film Score \u2013 Nigel Westlake for The NuggetBest Soundtrack Album \u2013 Cezary Skubiszewski for After the DelugeInternational Achievement Award \u2013 Lisa GerrardBest Feature Film Score \u2013 Elizabeth Drake for Japanese StoryBest Soundtrack Album \u2013 Iva Davies, Christopher Gordon and Richard Tognetti for Master and Commander: The Far Side of the WorldInternational Achievement Award \u2013 Bruce RowlandBest Feature Film Score \u2013 Ben Ely, Matthew Fitzgerald, Tom Schutzinger and Peter Kelly (Decoder Ring) for SomersaultBest Soundtrack Album \u2013 Roger Mason for The ExtraInternational Achievement Award \u2013 Peter BestBest Feature Film Score \u2013 Francois Tetaz for Wolf CreekBest Soundtrack Album \u2013 David Bridie, Albert David and Kadu for RAN: Remote Area NurseInternational Achievement Award \u2013 The WigglesBest Feature Film Score \u2013 Nigel Westlake for Miss PotterBest Soundtrack Album \u2013 Nigel Westlake for Miss PotterInternational Achievement Award \u2013 Garry McDonald and Laurie StoneBest Feature Film Score \u2013 David Hirschfelder for Children of the Silk RoadBest Soundtrack Album \u2013 Michael Yezerski for The Black BalloonBest Music for a Short Film – Geoffrey Russell for Noir Drive[9]International Achievement Award \u2013 Guy GrossBest Feature Film Score \u2013 Lisa Gerrard for BaliboBest Soundtrack Album \u2013 Cezary Skubiszewski for Death Defying ActsBest Feature Film Score \u2013 Christopher Gordon for Mao’s Last DancerBest Soundtrack Album \u2013 Christopher Gordon for Mao’s Last DancerBest Feature Film Score \u2013 Jed Kurzel for SnowtownBest Soundtrack Album \u2013 Rafael May for Road TrainBest Feature Film Score \u2013 Lisa Gerrard for Burning ManBest Soundtrack Album \u2013 Michael Lira \/ Jono Ma \/ Antony Partos \/ Irine Vela for The SlapOther awards[edit]Emily Burrows Award[edit]The Emily Burrows Award was instituted in 2001 in memory of Emily Burrows, a former APRA AMCOS membership representative and compliance officer.
