Pacific Music Awards Celebrate 22 Years Amid Financial Struggles

The Pacific Music Awards recently celebrated its 22nd year, showcasing the talent of Pacific artists. However, the event’s organisers report significant financial difficulties behind the scenes.

Despite the successful celebration, organisers are calling for support as they navigate ongoing financial challenges. They express that while the event thrives on stage, funding and resources remain a pressing issue.

The Pacific Music Awards have become a significant platform for recognising Pacific music talent in New Zealand. The event fosters cultural expression and community engagement, but the financial burden threatens its sustainability.

Organisers are seeking increased support from sponsors and the wider community to ensure the awards continue to celebrate and uplift Pacific artists in the future. Maintaining this platform is essential for promoting and preserving Pacific culture in Aotearoa.
