HOW ARE NOMINEES AND WINNERS CHOSEN?


The HMMA recognizes music based on creative merit and not popularity, airplay, sales or label affiliation. HMMA nominees are reviewed and selected by the HMMA Selections Committee and Guild of Music Supervisors (GMS) membership. Award recipients are determined by a vote of the HMMA Producers, Selections Committee, the GMS membership and the HMMA Advisory Board, populated by highly qualified industry professionals. HMMA voting is internal and confidential and winners are revealed only during the awards show.

WHO CAN ENTER?


Any artist who has original music recordings. Thirty-five different music styles and categories are accepted and represented.
