Nominations Period for Carolina Music Awards Opens

RALEIGH, N.C. - March 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Always the busiest time for the Carolina Music Awards, nominations started March 3, 2014. New to the awards line up this year is an award for Artist of the Year. One male and female will be chosen from each genre as nominees for the award. After the success of adding the Latin Award last year, organizer’s thought this was the year to add the new category.

Held for the seventh year at the Duke Energy Performing Arts Center, organizers are also actively seeking a host for the seventh annual awards show.

The Carolina Music Awards asks artists and their fans to make as many nominations as they would like during the two month nomination period, but they can only nominate each artist once. The end of the nomination period, scheduled for May 5, 2014, is followed by a brief break before voting begins. While fans are voting for their favorite artists, the industry selection committee reviews the artist’s body of work and submits their ranking, which is then tallied at the end of the voting period with the votes from the general public. Winners are not made public until they are announced at the Carolina Music Awards, and all nominees are invited to attend.

“The Carolina Music Awards has become a very stable and well-respected show,” states Omar McCallop of O Ent Inc and Award Show Nation, “We are happy for our past winners and nominees who have taken their awards experience and worked hard to transition from that experience and continue the upward trajectory of their careers.”

Tickets for the Carolina Music Awards, scheduled for August 2, 2014 in Raleigh, NC, will be available for purchase at the Duke Energy Box Office and online from Ticketmaster. The Carolina Music Awards is also actively seeking sponsors for the awards show.
