The 2010 National Musicoz Awards congratulate their ARIA nominee brethren and
welcome new media partners.



With this year's ARIA nominations released, Musicoz is excited and proud to
announce that we have three nominations from previous Musicoz Award recipients.
Starting with the Breakthrough Artist Single - Bluejuice with "Broken Leg", then
in the Best Country Album category we have Felicity Urquhart with "Landing
Lights" and to round out the diversity for Musicoz artists, Fiona Joy Hawkins is
a nominee in the Best World Music Album with "Blue Dream". These nominations
follow on from Musicoz winners Bliss 'n Eso who took out the Best Urban Album in
2008 with "Flying Colours".



All of the above artists and many more have been previously recognised and
developed by coming through the Musicoz system.



Musicoz is also very excited to announce a new partnership with The Music
Network. The Music Network is now a presenting media partner alongside MTV,
NOVA, Bigpond Music and Rova. In addition they will also be presenting The Music
Network Artist of the year Award.



"Our Artist of the Year Award is our biggest and most prestigious award, and
teaming up with the coolest and most important music industry publication
around, The Music Network, is a really good fit for us", says Musicoz founder
Pat Maloney.



Jade Harley, Managing Editor of The Music Network commented, "Musicoz is
responsible for the discovery and nurturing of numerous established artists
including Bluejuice and Bliss 'n Eso and we wholeheartedly support their
commitment to Australian talent. We are thrilled to be presenting the Artist Of
The Year Award and wish all entrants the best of luck".



Entries are now open for the 2010 National Musicoz Awards, Australia's Truly
Independent Awards for independent and unsigned Artists. Musicoz gives
independent artists, managers and labels vital recognition, confidence, exposure
and opportunity on their path to success.



But you better hurry as entries close on October 31st.
