The Australian Performing Right Association Awards of 2014 (generally known as APRA Awards) are a series of related awards which include the APRA Music Awards, Art Music Awards, and Screen Music Awards. The APRA Music Awards of 2014 was the 32nd annual ceremony by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) and the Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society (AMCOS) to award outstanding achievements in contemporary songwriting, composing and publishing.[1] The ceremony was held on 23 June 2014 at the Brisbane City Hall, for the first time.[2][3] The host for the ceremony was Brian Nankervis, adjudicator on SBS-TV's RocKwiz.[4]

The Art Music Awards were distributed on 26 August at the Plaza Ballroom, Melbourne.[5] These were provided by APRA, AMCOS and Australian Music Centre (AMC) to recognise "artistic achievement and excellence within the field of Australia's art music industry."[5][6][7] The Screen Music Awards were issued on 12 November by APRA, AMCOS and Australian Guild of Screen Composers (AGSC),[8] which "acknowledges excellence and innovation in the genre of screen composition".[9]
