WAM was originally formed as the Western Australian Rock Music Industry Association Inc. (WARMIA) in 1985, with its main aim to develop and run annual awards recognising achievements within the music industry in Western Australia.〔 〕 WAM first received project funding from the state government in 1989, and in the early 90s the word "rock" was dropped from the title to give the organisation scope to take on a broader constituency. In 1989 the inaugural WA Song Contest commenced, in 2002 it was rebranded as the WAM Song of the Year. The WAM Song of the Year is open to all residents of Western Australia. The song must be the original work of the songwriter(s). Songwriters with a publishing deal can only enter the Professional category. ==Winners== * 1996 - ''Lash'' - then known as Exteria ('Youth' category) * 1997 - ''Beaverloop'' ('Pop' category) * 1998 - ''Cartman'' ('Pop' and 'Acoustic' categories) * 2000 - ''Ivan Zar'' ('Blues' category) * 2001 - ''Halogen'' (special theme category 'Love') * 2002/03 - ''Andrew Horabin'' ('Political' category) * 2004 - ''Lauren Brede'' ('Outstanding Regional' category) * 2005 - ''Damian Crosbie (The Panda Band)'' ('Pop' category) * 2006 - ''Erik Hecht (Institut Polaire)'' ('Pop' category) * 2007 - ''Josh Fontaine'' ('Pop' category) * 2008 - ''Roly Skender and the Tonics'' ('Pop' category) * 2009 - ''Umpire'' ('Pop' category) * 2010 - ''Georgi Kay'' ('School Age 15-17 Years' category) * 2011 - ''Timothy Nelson'' ('Love' category) * 2012 - ''Rainy Day Women'' ('Pop' category) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WAM Song of the Year」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
