The National Indigenous Music Awards 2013 were the 10th annual National Indigenous Music Awards.
The nominations were announced on 7 July 2013 and the awards ceremony was held on 10 August 2013.[1][3][4]
Michael Chugg from Chugg Entertainment said "NIMA has come a long way in a short time and is exceptional fertile ground for finding and breaking new indigenous artists. NIMA is gathering much respect both nationally and overseas for the professionalism it is bringing to the indigenous music scene." Shellie Morris, the best female musicians for 2004 and 2005 NT Music Awards, said "These awards are becoming more significant every year, it's a great time for Indigenous talent to gain recognition for their efforts. Artists and their management should use this as an opportunity that is knocking on their door right now."[5]
In recognition of the 2013 passing of Dr Yunupingu, the evening concluded with a very special tribute to Yothu Yindi.[6][2][7]
