3D World was an Australian street press publication for the dance music community.
After being founded in Sydney in 1989, ownership of the publication changed hands several times before publication shut down in 2011.
It was superseded by Three Magazine, another publication by Street Press Australia Pty Ltd, which "was born out of the ashes of 3D World" in August 2011.
Australian Dance Music Awards
3DWorld Publishing founded the Australian Dance Music Awards (DMA) to recognise achievements by musicians in dance music as well as hip-hop, which was then considered underground.
Nominees in each category were selected by a panel from the music industry, and then voted on by the general public to determine the winners. Awards ceremonies featured DJ set performances from various artists, such as DJ Ajax.
By 2006, it was regarded as "Australia's longest running, biggest and best dance music awards." No award show was held 2004-2005. When they returned in 2006, the awards were called The Allen & Heath Dance Music Awards, and were still sponsored by 3D World.

Electro house and mash-ups never sounded as exciting and edgy in anyone else's hands and for a few years I was lucky enough to see Ajax and his cohorts play sterling, jaw-bruising sets everywhere from the 3D World Dance Music Awards in Sydney…
