Now in its 16th year, the Taite Prize (named for journalist Dylan Taite) celebrates creative talent on independent record labels.
This year saw a record 80 entries, the finalists voted on by Independent Music NZ members, musicians and an invited group of industry professionals.
The winner picks up a tidy $12,500 and will be announced in an event at the Q Theatre, Auckland on April 15.
There are other awards on the night but here are the Taite Music Prize finalists, here is the Spotify playlist and where Elsewhere has covered them we link to . . .
