The Jack Awards were a set of popularly-voted Australian music awards, sponsored by Tennessee whiskey company Jack Daniel's. The awards were conceived by Damien Wilson, former creative director of Peer Group Media to create a national platform that rewarded all areas of Australian live music, from bands to venues, tour art to guitarists and drummers rather than recorded releases. The Jack Awards began in 2004, and were broadcast on pay TV channel Channel () Australia. The nominees for each of the awards were selected by a panel of over 60 judges from the music industry including publishers, label A&R, promoters, radio DJs, music media and managers nationally. The awards were based on an online voting system. Voters, or "punters" as they were called by the organisers, voted over the internet or by SMS for their favourite musicians, bands, live venues, photographers, tour artwork and the Gentleman Jack award for services to Australian live music. ==2007 Awards== The fourth annual Jack Awards ceremony was held on 15 May 2007 at Luna Park in Sydney. The ceremony was hosted by Jabba (ex-Channel () Australia VJ), and presenters included Melanie Greensmith (founder of Wheels and Doll Baby), Mark McEntee (Divinyls), Erin McNaught (Miss Australia 2006), Merrick and Rosso and Ronnie Johns. The crowd were treated to live performances from Airbourne, Beasts of Bourbon, Mercy Arms, You Am I (who performed a tribute to Billy Thorpe), Howling Bells and Angry Anderson's All Star Jam (which included members of You Am I, The Divinyls, Grinspoon and The Sleepy Jackson).
