You must respond to separate nomination criteria for each category.

• Each category has its own criteria and a separate set of questions which must be answered. 
• There is no benefit to asking other people to nominate you. Only one nomination per artist per category is accepted. As this is not a popularity contest, fan nominations are not accepted.
• You will need to gather supporting information and evidence for some categories. You can read the questions for each category here. 
• For all categories you will need an up-to-date bio, no longer than 150 words that is cleared for our marketing use, as well as two press shots. Depending on how you submit your nominations – you may only need to provide this once. 
• You may nominate for multiple categories.
• You cannot nominate for both Artist and Breakout Artist – you may only nominate in one or the other category.
• You may only nominate one song for Song of the Year. This should be your best song.
