Award Information

The Silver Scroll Award, New Zealand’s most prestigious music award, has been presented since 1965. Originally an award to all APRA members, in recent years it has been awarded each year to the writer of the best song.

This peer voted Award is decided by APRA Members, New Zealand’s songwriters and composers. Hundreds of votes are made and the finalist songs are listened to online thousands of times.

With unique renditions of the finalists’ works and an opportunity to celebrate New Zealand’s finest songwriters and composers the “Scrolls” is undoubtedly the industry’s favourite night out.
