- Speakers raised concerns about AI training and copyright reform.

## Summary

Josh Hogan and Ned Beckley won all four categories they were nominated for at the 2026 Screen Music Awards in Brisbane, recognising their work on the ABC children’s series *Tales from Outer Suburbia*. Their success came as the Australian screen music community used the ceremony to highlight concerns about proposed copyright changes that could allow AI companies to train on creative work without permission.

The pair won awards for children’s programming, an opening title theme, a soundtrack album and an original song, which they composed with Joni Hogan. Adam Gock and Dinesh Wicks also collected multiple awards, including their 12th win as most performed screen composers in Australia; Helena Czajka won for documentary music, and Finn Clarke was named emerging screen composer of the year. The annual event recognises work across 16 categories, and attendees wore “human made” badges as speakers argued that AI should not replace artists’ experience or the right to seek payment for their work.
