The Scottish Atlernative Music Awards (SAMAs) is an annual music award based in Glasgow, Scotland. The SAMAs present awards in seven categories to the best emerging artists in Scotland.
The categories for 2017 are as follows:
- Best Acoustic sponsored by CitizenM

- Best Hip-Hop sponsored by 1000fans
- Best Live Act sponsored by Xpo North
- Best Metal sponsored by Glasgow Cathouse
- Best Newcomer sponsored by Academy of Music & Sound
- Best Rock/Alternative sponsored by Eventbrite
History
The SAMAs were founded in 2009 by music entrepreneur Richy Muirhead, initially as a university project. The project grew to become the awards that exist today, with the first SAMAs being held in 2010 at The Classic Grand, Glasgow. In subsequent years the awards have been hosted at The Garage, Glasgow.[1]
The SAMAs have grown year on year to become a must[citation needed] on the Scottish music calendar drawing support from the likes of broadcaster Vic Galloway, DJ Jim Gellatly, and various artists and sponsors.[2]
The awards have helped develop the careers of Fatherson (Best Rock/Alternative, SAMA 2012), Hector Bizerk (Best Hip-Hop, SAMA 2014), and Model Aeroplanes (Best Newcomer, SAMA 2014).[3]
The awards will be run in association with Rebel Rebel Barbers in October 2017.[4]
