Each year the IWMA Bill Wiley Award is presented to a member of the IWMA who has made an outstanding contribution to Western music.
In memory of one of our founders, Bill Wiley, we give this prestigious award to individuals who are not performers or directly involved in the Western music business, but who have shown support for the IWMA through other means - writing, still & video photography, volunteering and other activities in support of the International Western Music Association.
