The quest to find Indigenous Australia's best in 2010 has begun.
Finalists were announced in Melbourne for what is Australia's biggest, single event celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.

The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Music, Sport, Entertainment and Community Awards, aka the Deadlys, is back for its 16th year at the Sydney Opera House on 27 September 2010.

Deadlys' Executive Producer Gavin Jones from Vibe Australia says the Deadlys just keep getting better and a big part of this is Indigenous Australia's strong support.
"Each year we get thousands of nominations from all around Australia and everyone has one aim: to honour the best and brightest whether that is in sport, music, the arts, health or the community," he says.
"The 2010 finalists list is a huge excitement and it tells its own story. These people are really Deadly!
"The voting public has a hard task on its hands, but no matter what happens the Deadlys on the 27 September should definitely not be missed."

While the Deadlys are a chance to celebrate our most talented, they also represent Indigenous Australia's choice about who they feel deserves a Deadly award.
"We respect the trust Indigenous Australia places in us to ensure their top finalist in each category is announced on the big night, based on the votes we receive right up until the deadline on 6 September 2010," Gavin says.
