The Unsigned Only Music Awards is an online Music Awards geared toward independent and unsigned artists internationally.
The Awards' mission is to recognize and honour the exceptional talent of independent artists while encouraging creativity, innovation, and the pursuit of musical excellence. The focus is exclusively on unsigned artists, providing a level playing field for all artists who have not secured a major label record deal. The Awards will celebrate the artistry and passion of up-and-coming artists who define the future of music.
Winners will be selected by a panel of judges comprised of accomplished musicians, producers, record label executives, journalists, and other professionals with extensive experience and knowledge in their respective fields. Each category will have one winner, such as Best Rock Artist, Best Country Artist, Best Latin Artist, etc.
Additionally, one artist will be selected Artist of The Year and will be awarded a $20,000 cash (US) prize.
All winners will receive a stunning custom, abstract sculpture/award designed by Society Awards, known for designing and manufacturing high-profile entertainment awards, such as the Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and more. Receiving a prestigious award such as this is a milestone for an artist, reflecting their dedication, creativity, and hard work and will empower and motivate them to continue evolving and striving for excellence.
NOTE: Unsigned Only accepts original and cover songs in all categories, except for the Best Sync Artist category which accepts original songs only. All genres of music are accepted in the Teen, Instrumentalist, Female Vocalist, Male Vocalist, and Sync categories. The Lyricist category requires original lyrics only.
