Change in Silver Scroll Judging process

Historically the Silver Scroll has been judged by a panel of anonymous writers and industry experts who have studiously listened to hundreds of songs, dutifully considered lyrics and made their call on the song of the year.

This year we want to involve all APRA members, up and down the country, in the judging process. To do this we will still convene the panel of judges but only to narrow the songs entered down to a preliminary finalist list of 20. These songs will then be available for APRA members to log on and listen, read the lyrics and vote. You vote, the top 5 get performed on the night of the Awards and the winner for 2007, as decided by you, will be announced.

The judging criteria and process for both the APRA Maioha and SOUNZ Contemporary Awards remain the same with genre specific industry experts on each judging panel. The Most Performed Works Awards are determined by APRA log reports.
