The Australasian Performing Right Association Awards of 1999 (generally known as APRA Awards) are a series of awards held in May 1999. The APRA Music Awards were presented by Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) and the Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society (AMCOS).[1] Only one classical music award was available in 1999: Most Performed Contemporary Classical Composition.[2][3] APRA provided awards for "Best Television Theme", and "Best Film Score" in 1999.[4] APRA and AMCOS also sponsored the Australian Guild of Screen Composers (AGSC),[5] which provided their own awards ceremony, from 1996 to 2000, with categories for film and TV composers.[6]
