About This Survey

Dear Country Music Fan/Patron,
The Country Music Association of Australia is undertaking a major research project to measure the economic value and cultural significance of country music in Australia and New Zealand.

The information you provide in your responses to this survey will help the CMAA and industry practitioners and supporters, to continue to lobby to preserve and promote the livelihood and viability of country music artists and businesses and help ensure the continued investment that creates thousands of jobs annually.  It will also help us all to create a better experience for country music fans.

 It will give us all a powerful story to tell about the music we love.

If you choose to answer the survey anonymously, that's fine.

CONFIDENTIALITY
BUT if you do choose to provide your email contact you will enter the AMAZING prize draw (see below). I personally  GUARANTEE that the information you provide WILL NOT be used for any purpose other than to help create the final report which will be released to the public in early 2019.

You WILL NOT be identified individually in that report, NOR will any individual information be communicated by me to ANY third party, including the CMAA, without your express permission.
Note:
If you include your name and email at the end, in order to enter the prize draw, I will take that as permission to share with Choose Your Cruise - but NO ONE else. 

Should you have any queries, feel free to contact me – dobenewton@gmail.com

Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the survey.

Project Manager & CMAA President
