The three central IMNZ core objectives are:

1.    To advocate the values and interests of our members and the New Zealand independent sector; working with the government, other cultural agencies and music industry bodies;
2.    To aid the development and knowledge of our members by providing them all the necessary tools to develop their art and grow their business; and
3.    To provide collective group benefits for our members and their copyrights

IMNZ is for New Zealand owned record labels and distributors. Eligibility for IMNZ membership requires a majority of New Zealand ownership of the label/distributor (or parent company) and the majority of your releases must be by New Zealand artists.

Aside from these conditions, anyone who releases the music in New Zealand - including self-released artists - is eligible to join. Even if you only have one release.

If you still aren't sure please feel free to contact Renee at IMNZ at renee (at) nzmusic.org.nz or 09 376 0115 if you have any questions.
