FBi SMAC Awards Nominees Announced Including Heaps Gay

By Mikey Carr

That’s right kids, we’ve just been nominated for Best Music Event at the 2016 FBi Radio SMAC Awards. It’s not all about us though (as much as we wish it was) and we are nominated alongside a top notch bunch of nominees representing the very best of Sydney’s music, arts and culture industry.

Now in their 8th year, the SMACs recognise the best musicians, artists, performers, restaurants and events across 10 categories from Record of the Year to Best Eats. With the full list of nominees below, some standouts are Heaps Gay favourites Marcus Whale and Rainbow Chan both nominated for Best Live Act and Record of the Year and Nina Las Vegas nominated for FBi Click Producer of the Year. Everyone nominated is amazing though, and voting on this has been like having to choose between my non-existent children.

Anyway you can have a look over the rest for yourself here, but remember to get you and all your friends voting for us for Best Event of the Year.
