The J Awards have been running for seven consecutive years now, and have gained a reputation for discovering and exposing the best Australian talent this country has to offer. Each year the J Awards acknowledge the outstanding creative output by some of our homegrown artists. Past J Award winners include Tame Impala, Wolfmother, The Presets, Hilltop Hoods and Sarah Blasko.
In early November, the entire judging committee will convene to decide all 3 of the final J Award winners. This meeting will be chaired by the triple j Music Director. In this meeting, all three of the award winners will be decided. J Award winners will be announced in the final week of this month.
