Ausmusic T-Shirt Day is an annual day of recognition and support for Australian musicians, held every November (Ausmusic Month) since 2013. It was founded by national youth radio station Triple J. Participants are encouraged to wear a t-shirt representing their favourite local artist, and make a donation to music industry charity Support Act. The initiative raises hundreds of thousands of dollars every year through the sales of limited edition t-shirts, often sold at community markets across the country.
