For more than two and a half decades, the live music industry’s Oscar equivalents have been handed out during ILMC’s Gala Dinner.

The nominees in each category are decided by a committee of 150 industry professionals. The final winners are then decided by an open vote of all ILMC members and IQ Magazine readers.

Voting for the Arthur Awards 2022 has now closed. The winners will be announced during ILMC’s ‘The Great Indoors’ Gala Dinner and details of winners will be published in the subsequent issue of IQ Magazine.

Thanks to all those who voted!
