APRA|AMCOS Wish you a safe & happy Christmas
Thursday, 10 December 2009
2009 has been a bumper year!
We've hosted and sponsored many events, seminars and competitions all in support of Aussie songwriters: The APRA Music Awards, The Classical Awards, The Screen Awards, APRA Roadshow (The Live Music Revolution), Songwriter Speaks, Connecting Members, Dynamic Duos, Vanda & Young Song Competition, Indigenous Amabassadors program... and the list goes on!
But, most importantly we've upheld your rights as songwriters, collecting royalties for the public performance and the mechanical reproduction of your works.
Both APRA and AMCOS had fantastic financial years, with royalty distributions to members and affiliated societies approximately 10% higher than for the preceding year (itself a high-water mark). In APRA's case, royalty payments exceeded $144 million, while AMCOS payments were just short of $46 million
From all the staff here at APRA|AMCOS, we wish you a safe, happy and creative festive season. We look forward to working with you in the 2010!
One final reminder: Our offices will be closed over the Christmas/New Year break from 4pm on Wednesday 23 December, and will re-open on Tuesday 5 January.
