Artists…managers…listen up!
There’s been a change to the submission process for the artist-related categories at the Stylus DJ Awards this year. In past years the public voted for songs (i.e. submitted themselves) and those with the most votes ended up making the categories. This year, the artists/producers need to submit themselves. There are also 3 new categories added to make the artist awards way more well rounded overall (def a great look). It’s FREE to submit so all it’s costing you is about 5 minutes of your time. Here are the categories that require artist submission:
Canadian Dance/Pop Single of the Year *NEW CATEGORY*
Supporting Partners:
TheCyberkrib / King of the Dot / HipHopCanada /Never Forgive Action / Shaman /Ridgeway / Droppin Knowledge /The Cypher / Moog Audio Logo / CP Records / Fusicology /Roundtable Ent. / Real Frequency /Just Entertainment
