Get ready, mouth-frothing friends — it’s time to vote! The O Music Awards kick off TODAY, May 16, with a whole passel of new categories and nominees on OMusicAwards.com. Did your favorite band/app/whatever get a nod? Find out below!
Attention bands: The O Music Awards is announcing a new category called Make A Band Famous — a battle of the bands whereby fans help up-and-coming acts make it to the big time. From now until voting for the O Music Awards launches on May 16, we will be pulling together a list of nominees and we want YOU in on the action.
Strap your palpitating heart into your chest and slap on some protective shorts, kids — The O Music Awards are coming back on June 19th, complete with a passel of prizes, 24 hours of live music, a day-long drum-a-thon kicked off by Questlove, and, for the first time ever, our brand-new Make A Band Famous category.
That yearly cross-borough bacchanal of music and bad decisions — commonly known as the CMJ Music Marathon — hits New York next week and the O Music Awards are primed to party. We’ve teamed up with MTV Hive, mtvU, MTV Jams and Artists.MTV to bring you a pretty rad little showcase featuring an amazing lineup of talent, as well as pizza and a photobooth. Let’s just say that one more time: pizza and a photobooth.
Don’t see your favorite band/app/whatever on our nominee list? Do not fret. I repeat: Do not fret.
