Best Female Vocal went to Beccy Cole while Adam Brand was named Best Male Vocal.
Best Album went to Simply Bushed for their latest release, Look At The Time.
The Best Song award went to Lee Kernaghan and Garth Porter for Love In The Time Of Drought, released on Lee's latest album (which won last year's Best Album People's Choice award), Planet Country.
Rising stars Brothers3 took out their first People's Choice Awards, and two at that, with the Most Promising Future Star award and Best Group from a very competitive field.
Graham Rodger built on his impressive collection of People's Choice Awards by taking the Best Bush Ballad category with his song The Cooper Coming Down.
Another fast rising star, Katrina Burgoyne, took out the Best Video Clip title with Ghost, directed by Duncan Toombs.
A unique aspect of the People's Choice Awards are the two categories dedicated to the broadcasting industry, that sector of the media so important to the future of country music.
This year's award for Most Popular Country Music DJ went to one of the nation's newest radio stars, Felicity Urquhart, who took over the reigns from John Nutting on the ABC's "Saturday Night Country" and has taken the program to new heights.
The award for Most Popular Country Music Radio Station went to long-time Sydney dedicated country music broadcaster 2KA Cool Country.
A large and appreciative audience witnessed this year's presentation which also featured performances from Awards finalists David Baldi, Brothers3, Katrina Burgoyne, Beccy Cole, Johanna Hemara, Jason Lee, Gemma Luxton, Markus Meier, Graham Rodger, Simply Bushed, and co-hosts Steve Passfield and Connie Kis Andersen.
Organisers say they were delighted with all aspects of this year's Awards which saw a record number of votes and literally hundreds of artists, groups and duos nominated by the general public.
Brothers3, who have been big winners in these Awards over the past few years and who came to national prominence last year via television's "The X Factor" didn’t disappoint in the category which must surely now have their name on it... Best Group.
The Video Clip category was awarded to I Need You Tonight by Dozzi (pictured) featuring Drew McAlister.
