Announcing The Winners of The Mighty Aotearoa Alternative Awards 2024
On Saturday 2 November, 9 National Awards were presented to our favourite musicians and bands across the motu. As well as recognising and awarding each station’s favourite music, best broadcasters, and most loyal supporters.
The 2024 MAAA’s featured over 100 nominees, and represented a wide array of our country’s best independent and alternative musical acts.
The awards and their winners showcase the cultural creativity that is broadcast across our network’s airwaves, and paint an amazing picture of Aotearoa New Zealand’s musical landscape.
So, without further ado, the Student Radio Network of Aotearoa New Zealand, in association with NZ On Air, is delighted to announce the winners for the following awards:
