ARIA Music Awards
As well as administering the official Australian music charts, ARIA also holds the annual ARIA Music Awards to recognise excellence, innovation and achievement in Australian music. The awards have industry judged and highest selling categories, and since 2010 public vote categories where the criteria for selection as a nominee is most commonly being one of the highest selling acts during the year. Australian Idol contestants have been nominated for 64 ARIA Awards since 2004, with 24 highest selling nominations, 16 nominations for publicly voted categories, and 24 industry judged nominations. Guy Sebastian has received the most nominations with 17 including two wins. Jessica Mauboy has 12 nominations including one win, and Shannon Noll has received six nominations. Sebastian and Mauboy also have the most industry judged ARIA nominations with six each. Lisa Mitchell has had four industry judged nominations, with Joel Turner receiving three. Damien Leith and Matt Corby have each been nominated twice in industry judged categories, and Shannon Noll once. However, to date while there have been six wins in the sales and public vote categories, no Australian Idol contestant has won an industry judged ARIA Award.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Let music sound while he doth make his choice;
Then if he lose he makes a swan-like end,
Fading in music.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
