CMC Music Awards


CMC Music Awards is an Australian music awards ceremony held annually since 2011. They are provided by the Country Music Channel, which is owned by Foxtel, and are determined by fan votes. From 2015 the ceremonies were staged in the Brisbane to Gold Coast region. Since 2016 there are three international categories, where Australians residing abroad are acknowledged.
