INDUCTION CRITERIA

2025 SELECTION CRITERIA

Please review this Criteria when nominating individuals, bands or venues for inclusion in the SA Music Hall of Fame. 

All nominations will be presented to a minimum of 15 people from the current Peer Review Pool (which is made up of industry participants, past inductees and others associated with the music industry in South Australia). 

THINGS TO NOTE:

The nominated inductee must demonstrate unquestionable musical excellence in their specific category.

Nominees cannot nominate themselves – the nomination must come from a third party.

WHAT TO INCLUDE:

The Nomination form will ask you to outline the following information:

·  The Name of the Proposed Nominee

· The era where the nominee was most prolific (you can choose more than one era)

·  Detail about their career and body of work/contribution to the industry.  Here we ask you to be as detailed as possible or provide references/links to additional information.  The more information the Peer Review Group have, the better.

·  Outline the nominee’s contribution to the industry. Individual, songwriter, band and other categories are available for you to choose. Again, if the individual spans multiple categories, you can select all that apply.

· Explain how the nominee is connected to South Australia and why you think they are worthy of a place in the South Australian Music Hall of Fame.

· Attach any images of the nominee. These can be really helpful for the Peer Review Group members.

THEN WHAT?

Once you submit your nomination it will be reviewed by a member of the SA Music Hall of Fame Committee and the information shared with a selection of members of the current Peer Review Pool.  A majority of at least 75% of those people must be in favour of the nomination for it to advance. Information is kept confidential and the decision of the Peer Review Group is final.  No further correspondence or dialogue will follow after the decision has been made.
