The Hollywood Music Awards is the world’s only red carpet event that celebrates music in popular visual mediums AND the music of undiscovered artists around the globe. Television, film, video games, commercial advertisements and Internet music sites are the mediums in which many artists get their big break. The HMA is the first event of its kind to recognize this trend and praise new music artists.
Honoring a variety of musical styles, from traditional to experimental, the HMA gives equal consideration to both signed and unsigned artists, whether or not their music has been placed (yet) or not. There are a number of categories that will focus on artists whose music is used in films, television, games, commercials, and web-based videos. Additionally, the HMA will also spotlight those individuals responsible for choosing and placing music in those mediums, including music supervisors, licensers, directors, and producers.
Artists are urged to submit their music for nominee consideration for the 2008 event starting now! The earlier you submit, the best chance you'll have to be reviewed and selected for nomination consideration. A myriad of music styles including Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop, Rap, Reggae, Country, Folk, Electronic, Gospel, Punk, Blues, Jazz and more will be recognized and honored. HMA will also honor artists for vocal, instrumental, songwriting and production abilities.
The HMA Advisory Board and Selections Committee are composed of the most influential professionals in the biz including music supervisors, licensers, publishers, agents, composers, label heads, managers and journalists. Many of these industry insiders are responsible for the music you hear in top rated television shows, blockbuster movies, the hottest video games and the most successful commercial campaigns in the world.
It is the goal of the HMA to bring new, independent artists to the attention of the individuals and entities that utilize music as part of an entertainment production. This is your chance for your music to be noticed and recognized by the people that can really make a difference. There’s nothing to lose and everything to gain so submit today!
