Get your votes in for the FBi SMAC Awards, because this year is going to be a ripper.
Few organisations support the Sydney scene as enthusiastically as FBi Radio, a community station that has had it’s heart in the right place since it’s inception over 10 years ago. If you live in Sydney, consider this a direct line of support for your city’s vibrant culture.
The 2016 nominees, across music, artist, performer and restaurant categories, showcase a special contribution to Sydney’s vibrant cultural life.
This year has been a great year for women in all creative industries, and the SMAC nominees reflect that with almost half the contenders being women.
The power is in your hands to choose a winner who will join Flume, Hermitude, Cloud Control and many more in the FBi hall of fame.
Voting is now open and will close on Tuesday December 20 at 5pm. The winners will be announced on January 17. See the full list of nominees below:
