THE SCOTTISH ALBUM OF THE YEAR AWARDS Announced
The SMIA is very proud to announce the inauguration of The Scottish Album of the Year Award. Eighteen months in development, the award is the product of a comprehensive and ambitious consultation process which has involved sectors and genres from throughout the music industry. Everyone at the SMIA has strived to deliver a qualitative arts prize for music which is discerning without being elitist and is worthy of the exceptional music it aims to celebrate.
With an initiative of this scale, scope and ambition, the SMIA hopes to reassure its members (both current and prospective) that we have a vision for the music industry in Scotland that is bold and progressive. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions about The SAY Award or with suggestions as to how we might better serve the interests of all our members.
