APRA Music Awards of 2002

The Australasian Performing Right Association Awards of 2002 (generally known as APRA Awards) are a series of awards which include the APRA Music Awards, Classical Music Awards, and Screen Music Awards. The APRA Music Awards were presented by APRA and the Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society (AMCOS). The Classical Music Awards were distributed in July in Sydney. The Screen Music Awards were issued in November by APRA and Australian Guild of Screen Composers (AGSC). AGSC had provided their own awards ceremonies, from 1996 to 2000, with categories for film and TV composers: many were similar to the Screen Music Awards.
