Launched in March 2002, the Australian Jazz Bell Awards have stood as the nation’s only dedicated jazz awards, honouring excellence and innovation in Australian jazz performance, composition, and artistry. Named in honour of trailblazing jazz musician Graeme Bell, the awards have been a beacon for the jazz community for over two decades.
After a necessary hiatus during the global pandemic, we are delighted to announce the return of the Bell Awards in 2025. This marks a powerful new chapter in our mission to celebrate and support Australian jazz artists. The Bell Awards are back — and so is the spotlight on Australia’s vibrant and world-class jazz scene.
