APRA Music Awards of 1996
The Australasian Performing Right Association Awards of 1996 are a series of awards held in May 1996. The APRA Music Awards were presented by Australasian Performing Right Association and the Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society. APRA and AMCOS did not provide any awards in 1997, after the hiatus they resumed the annual ceremony in APRA Music Awards of 1998.
Only one classical music award was available in 1996: Most Performed Contemporary Classical Composition. APRA provided awards for "Best Television Theme", and "Best Film Score" in 1996. APRA and AMCOS also sponsored the Australian Guild of Screen Composers, which provided their own awards ceremony, from 1996 to 2000, with categories for film and TV composers.Awards
