The 2006 APRA Silver Scroll Awards were held on Wednesday 20 September 2006 at the Auckland Town Hall, celebrating excellence in New Zealand songwriting. The Silver Scroll Award was presented to Don McGlashan for his song "Bathe In the River", originally performed by the Mt Raskil Preservation Society for the soundtrack of the New Zealand film No. 2. This was the final year where winners were selected by genre-specific panels of judges.{{cite web |title=APRA announces 2006 Silver Scroll awards |url=http://www.nzmusician.co.nz/index.php/ps_pagename/newsitem/pi_newsitemid/1920 |publisher=NZ Musician |access-date=5 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130219141117/http://www.nzmusician.co.nz/index.php/ps_pagename/newsitem/pi_newsitemid/1920 |archive-date=19 February 2013 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}
