Live UK Music Business Awards 2010

In the first of what will become an annual event, these are the awards the UK’s contemporary live music industry richly deserves, as it adapts to circumstances and continues to forge ahead, despite the recession.

The awards will recognise excellence and talent among promoters, venue operators, festival organisers and agents through to artiste managers, brand partnerships and marketing campaigns.

Created by the publisher of LIVE UK– the only magazine dedicated to the companies and individuals behind the business of contemporary live music – the Live Music Business Awards takes place on the last night of conference and networking event LIVE UK The Summit.

Voting Panels, comprising professionals with experience in relevant sectors of the industry, will work with LIVE UK to create shortlists of nominees for each award category, 

Successful first-round nominees will then be assessed by the categories’ respective Voting Panels across several criteria – supplemented by open online voting – to produce a winner, second and third place for each category.

Open voting at www.livemusicawards.co.uk takes places in two sessions – general categories between Monday 9 August and Friday 27 August, and Festival categories from Monday 13 to Monday 27 September, to ensure the last festivals if the summer season are included.

Participants will be able to vote in all categories and criteria, across multiple nominees, but will be barred from repeat voting.

As soon as votes have been submitted, the system immediately disconnects the voter’s registration details from the votes cast, ensuring complete voter anonymity.

Details of the Top 3 nominees will be published in advance of the event and broadcast throughout The Summit (6-7 October), with the winners announced on the night (7 October).

The winners details will then be published in an exclusive Live Music Business Awards supplement in LIVE UK, following the event.
