Deja Voodoo Spells racked up 9 nominations, while James Baum and Altimet shared nominee honors with 6 each. Plenty of newcomers, especially acts from Brunei.
Next up is the 2nd phase of judging. On December 3rd, 2009, we will launch the online voting page, of which 30% of the scores will be tabulated from this platform.The remaining 70% of the scores will be decided by a panel of local and international judges.
**So..try and create the biggest buzz and hype about your act all over the web and media (spread the word to as many fans and friends). This is quite crucial as we will be enlisting a few potential sponsors and clients to scout and endorse indie acts as their brand ambassadors or even sign them up for a deal.
Guys..there are no winners or losers when it comes to VIMA..its a whole journey called experience!!
So..while congrats are in store for the nominees, we hope the ones who did not make the cut will continue to keep their dream alive and we at Voize and VIMA promise to support you guys. So do drop us a line should you need any help to promote you. Also..dont forget, you get a second chance with the Asian Indie Music awards, AVIMA 2010. You can register your songs at www.popfolio.net/avima2010.
**This time round, the top acts of VIMA 2010 will stand a chance to be promoted to top artistes,labels and producers in USA. Also we are working out a deal to get Malaysian/Brunei acts to perform in London and across Europe. More of that to come..and this is actually open to all acts and not just nominees.
**Finally...there will be limited seats and entry available for the awards night..so please keep a keen eye on our upcoming announcements.Also try and register your names on the VIMA 2010 facebook group to stand a chance to win exclusive tickets and VIP passes.
