Mo Awards

Mo Awards

The Mo Awards are long running annual Australian entertainment industry awards. They recognise achievements in live entertainment in Australia.

The Mo Awards began in 1975, as the New South Wales Star Awards, when local entertainers started the awards to promote live entertainment in New South Wales. When Johnny O'Keefe became chairman in 1976, he decided the awards should become a national awards program. Don Lane then proposed the awards be renamed the Mo Awards in honor of Australian entertainer Roy Rene, who used the stage name "Mo McCackie." The award statue was designed be H. K. Fischer model maker of Morisset.

The award categories are reviewed annually and are adaptive to new trends in Australian entertainment, but categories currently include: musical theatre, opera, Classical music, dance, comedy, rock music, jazz, country music, plays and variety shows.
