Memberships are invited from the music loving public, players, teachers, schools, bands, music companies and musical instrument manufacturers. Membership is available only to people over 18 years of age.

These memberships will help fund the awards, provide the trophies and will be totally devoted to the encouragement of fiddle playing by all ages, in all forms of musical expression.

The Golden Fiddle Awards is a not-for-profit limited liability company, run by volunteers. The foundation directors, Marcus Holden, Andrew Clermont and Mark Mitchell are paid no directors fees and will never draw an income or dividends from the Awards.

The Mission

Uniting fiddlers of all persuasions in one great common bond

The first national awards system embracing all musical styles, which focuses on nuturing, supporting and rewarding the wealth of violin playing, performance and composing talent in Australia and New Zealand

There are two ways to get involved in this grand musical venture.

1 Become a member
2 Nominate yourself or someone else for one of the seven award categories

The Articles of Association say that all Awards nominees must be financial Members of the Golden Fiddle Awards. As an incentive to involvement, in this inaugural year, everyone who nominates will automatically become a member once they pay the nomination fee.

The only exception to this Article will be those nominated for Category 5, the Lifetime Achievement Award.
