IMNZ, PPNZ Music Licensing and NZ On Air are the principal music industry supporters of the Taite Music Prize in conjunction with the Taite family.

Additionally, the prize could not have been established without the fantastic support from Jagermeister and the team at Hancock's who are committed to supporting creative New Zealand Music in all its forms.

We would also like to gratefully acknowledge the assistance we have had from the NZ Music Commission, The Australasian Performing Rights Society (APRA) and newcomers Moa Beer, who have all lent their support and encouragement in drawing attention to this critical award.
