To be eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame, the artist must have released a work or achieve another significant professional milestone at least 20 years prior.
[4] Both the APRA and the Recorded Music NZ inductees receive a framed certificate to mark their induction as well as the Hall of Fame "soundshell", created by sculptor Jim Wheeler.
The Recorded Music NZ inductees also receive the Legacy Award which is represented as a platinum Tui trophy.
