Only current (or newly registered) Detroit Music Awards voters are allowed to participate in the Nomination Phase. 

During this phase, the Nomination Ballot is available online after an eligible voting member has logged in. Eligible voters with email addresses are contacted via email that the Nomination process has begun. 

The Nomination Ballot allows voters to nominate whomever they choose for performance and recording categories that meet the eligibility requirements by selecting from names/recordings provided in Phase I (online ballot only). 

Names eligible to be considered as Nominees must have a connection, or perform a body of work, primarily in the Detroit metro area, which, for our purposes, stretches as far north as Flint, as far west as metropolitan Ann Arbor, as far south as the Ohio border, and as far east as the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair. 

Recordings eligible for the 2019 Detroit Music Awards to be considered as choices must have been released between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. Recordings need to be available for purchase or streaming to the public via physical or digital means between those dates.
