Jägermeister will introduce a new people’s choice Most Hunted award to this year’s Sixth Annual JÄGERMEISTER INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS (JIMA’s) to be held on Wednesday 12 October in Melbourne. Music fans will be given the opportunity to vote from Tuesday 13 September and the winner will also have the opportunity to appear on stage on the night to help present the trophy to the Jägermeister Most Hunted artist.

The nominees for the Most Hunted Award are:

· Bliss N Eso
· Drapht
· 360
· Illy
· The Jezabels
· Sparkadia
· Little Red
· Art Vs Science
· The Holidays
· Oh Mercy
· You Am I

To vote, music fans simply need to head to the Jägermeister Facebook page, enter their details and cast their selection for their favourite artist. Entrants will automatically go into the draw to win tickets to the JIMA’s ceremony including airfares to Melbourne, accommodation, two tickets to the JIMA’s plus the money-can’t-buy opportunity to meet the winning band and helping present the trophy to the Most Hunted artist. Winners will also be able to attend the official pre-JIMA’s industry party being held at the Jägermeister ‘Hunting Lodge’ pop-up bar at The Docklands in Melbourne the night before.

Now in their sixth year, the JÄGERMEISTER INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS (JIMA’s) continue to grow and are now recognised as a barometer for future ‘big’ Australian acts. Previous winners include Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, The Hilltop Hoods, The Herd, Sneaky Sounds System and John Butler, many of whom have subsequently gone on to major critical and commercial success.

Details of all the nominees, as well as information about a series of free, intimate gigs at the Jägermeister ‘Hunting Lodge’ in the lead up to the awards, can be located at www.facebook.com/JägermeisterAustralia

Let the Hunt Begin!
