To nominate and vote for the Detroit Music Awards please read through the following registration instructions carefully.  If you do not complete all of the requirements (including website links and references) your application will automatically be rejected.  We cannot verify your involvement in the music industry without actual links. 

STEP 1:   

Determine if you are eligible to nominate and vote by reading the following requirements: 

Detroit Music Awards voters must be able to demonstrate their involvement with the music industry and be actively working within the geographic area defined by our submissions process.  Musicians, managers, booking agents, media representatives, club management, sound technicians and other music industry professionals are all eligible to apply as long as they substantiate their work with references.

STEP 2:   Complete the registration form

Music Industry Affiliation

Please tell us what your affiliation is to the Detroit/Metro Area music industry. You MUST include at least one link (2-3 preferred) to social media pages and/or websites that include your name as part of the affiliation which you're claiming. If you do not include links for us to verify, your application will be denied. This does not mean ASCAP or BMI - we need to know what you DO in the Detroit music industry.

These applications are reviewed and approved on a case-by-case basis and we must be able to determine that you are a music industry professional actively living and working in SE Michigan. Thank you! 

STEP 3:  

Read the following membership information and learn the benefits of membership:
