Acclaim Magazine acknowledges the Traditional Owners of this land and we pay our respects to Elders past and present.

The Acclaim All-Stars initiative has been created as a means for the fans and participants across the thriving local hip hop and R&B scene music to formally acknowledge and celebrate the next crop of emerging of Australian artists. 2022 sees the next iteration of All-Stars, an annual online event.

All-Stars is a production of Acclaim Magazine, Australia’s longest running media platform dedicated to hip hop music and culture.

Structure

The Acclaim All-Stars 2022 Team is to be voted by the public from a shortlist of 40 artists that has been devised by a panel of 100 music industry experts. The public will identify 9 of the most exciting emerging acts across hip-hop and R&B from Australia for 2022 with a 10th ‘Wildcard’ slot to be nominated by Acclaim and Soundcloud.

Voting for the Acclaim 2022 All-Stars commences on February 7th 2022 and closes on February 18th 2022. The 10 finalists will be announced in March via the unveiling of The 2022 Team digital cover.
