Now in their 14th year, the Songlines Music Awards celebrate the remarkable range of musical talent from around the world covered in Songlines magazine throughout 2021 (issues #165 to #174 inclusive).

All the nominees in the geographical categories (Africa & Middle East, Americas, Europe, Asia & Pacific and Fusion) were chosen by our crack team of contributors based around the world and the Best Artist and Best Group nominees were voted by Songlines readers. The winners of these categories will be announced in the June issue (#178, out May 13) and the Newcomer and World Pioneer award winners will be announced at the Songlines Music Awards ceremony later this year.
