The CV Music Awards nominees were determined by a panel of over 200 people consisting of radio & TV personalities, music writers/journalists, music photographers, club & venue owners, promoters, fans and musicians themselves. The musicians on the nominating panel were not permitted to nominate in any of their own categories or for themselves.
The nomination ballot will be posted on www.coachellavalleyweekly.com on Friday, March 27. The public will then vote to determine the winners in each category. You may only vote once. We have this set up that only one vote per device will be counted. Voting will end on Monday, April 27 at midnight. Winners will be announced at the CV Music Awards Show on Sunday, May 17 from 5-9 pm at the Riviera in Palm Springs.
Tickets are 25.00 in advance, 35.00 at the door and 75.00 for VIP which includes; a hosted bar, heavy appetizers, 2 DJs, a live nominated band, and special celebrity appearances and signings. VIP tickets are limited and will sell out. Partial proceeds will go to charity. To purchase tickets call 760-501-6228.
