The 2021 Australian Women in Music Awards was the third Australian Women in Music Awards. Originally scheduled to take place in October 2021, the event was postponed to 19 May 2022.
Description The event was scheduled to take place on 5 and 6 October 2021 but on 31 August 2021, it was (for the second year in a row) postponed to 19 May 2022, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and the heightened vulnerability of First Nations artists to the virus.
Awards were presented in 17 categories, two more than in 2019, with the inaugural Tina Arena Special Impact Award and Live Production Touring Awards being added. Nominations opened on 25 May 2021 and closed on 6 July. The Tina Arena Special Impact Award named after Tina Arena, honours an unsung champion whose personal journey, contribution and service to industry has had an extensive impact on the Australian music community as a whole.
Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk expressed her excitement about the event, which is supported by the Queensland Government.
The finalists were announced on 31 August 2021.
