Voize.my has officially released the final nominees list for Asia’s First Independent Music Awards, AVIMA 2009.

The awards will be held as a global web event that will take place on March 29th,2009.

“We’re not the Grammys and not even close to the glamour of the MTV Asia Awards, but in terms of support, AVIMA 2009 is perhaps one of the biggest supported music awards in the world. In fact, with over 16 countries participating, it is definitely, the biggest independent music awards in the world. It has been another painstaking round of judging for the team, and it took almost one week of going through close to 1000 songs from 16 countries across Asia. It has been a mammoth task to contact more than 3000 independent artistes, receive their song nominations and then filtering them down into their respective categories. What kept us going was the amazing talent we were exposed to during the judging process, and all the acts nominated for AVIMA are definitely of international standards. I wont be surprised if we see these acts charting in Europe and US soon.” said Siva Chandran, founder of AVIMA 2009 and Managing Editor of Voize.my.

The judging process for AVIMA 2009 will begin from March 1st onwards, where global audiences will be able to log-in to an online voting site to listen to the songs and cast their votes. 30% of the songs will be via online voting and 70% of the other scores will be decided by global judges who come from Europe, Australia and US.
