The awards you can't miss

The Detroit Music awards got it's start in 1988, when the award show was proposed to the Motor City Music Foundation. The point of this awards show was to bring recognition to the Detroit area musicians. The Motor City Music Foundation held the very first Detroit Music Awards in 1992, at Detroit's Music Hall, the show in 1993 moved to the State Theatre. Since 1998, when the awards show became merged with the Metro Times sponsored Detroit Music Awards, the award show has been held every April at The Filmore in Detroit. The Detroit Music Awards features some of Detroit's most notable artists. From Bob Seger to Eminem, George Clinton and Parliament, The Clark Sisters, Kid Rock, Martha Reeves, Grand Funk Railroad, The Miracles, Insane Clown Posse, Was not Was, Ted Nugent and Smokey Robinson. The award categories for this award show cover ten genres of music; Jazz, Gospel, Country, Folk/Acoustic, Blues, World, Electronic, Rock/Pop, Classical and R&B/Hip-Hop. The 2014 show was one of the highest attended shows in the Detroit Music Awards history. Some of the winners from this show were, Jill Jack, Tosha Owens, Emily Rose, Carolyn Striho, Bobby Murray, Tino Gross, Maggie McCabe, Cybertrybe, Iggy and the Stooges, Fifty Amp Fuse, Eminem and much, much more!

The Detroit Music Awards are an amazing opportunity for local Detroiters, because it gives them the feel of a big time award show, all inside of their home town! It also gives any one who attends this Award show the opportunity to get somewhat up close and personal with their favorite Detroit native superstars. There are three phases to the award show. The first phase, known as the submission phase, is where you, the voters, get to nominate any and ALL of your favorite local Detroit artists. Unlike phase two, you do not have to be registered to nominate your favorite local and mainstream Detroit and Michigan artists! The submission phase takes place online, before phase two. Anyone can enter names of eligible artists, bands and recordings to be considered for voting during phase two! Names of artists that are eligible for consideration for nomination must have a connection, preform a body of work, or have recordings available for the public. Nominees have to be from the Metro Detroit area, which will go as far as Ann Arbor, Flint, Lake St. Clair, The Detroit River and even as far as the Ohio border!
