Additional information about the awards:

Our three step review process started with a total of 563 nominations. All nominated songs were reviewed with about 8-12 songs (for each category) making it through the first round of our award process.

The tough part was then choosing only 3 songs for each of our music categories (2nd part of the review process). Lots of debate occurred with a few of the songs, some songs were moved around the different categories and finally after a long tedious review process we agreed to the final nominations. The final review process and selection of the award winners is then done by the Celtic Radio community through our special music award voting system.

The Celtic Radio Music Award is a program sponsored by Highlander Radio to acknowledge and promote exceptional Celtic music across 6 categories of music.

Nominations for this award are made throughout the year by listeners and members of CelticRadio.net. After a careful screening process, which is based upon listener nominations, ratings, requests, and other radio statistics; we select 3 songs in 6 categories for community voting. Categories for an award are Celtic Rock, Traditional, Jigs & Reels, Bagpipes, Contemporary and Roots Traditional.

Voting begins on January 1st of each year (we were a little delay this year) and ends on March 17th (St. Patrick’s Day). Winners receive recognition of this prestigious award through the induction into the Celtic Radio Hall of Fame and permission to use the Celtic Radio Music Award banner on their website.

Good luck musicians and let the voting begin!!!!!!!!

We are really excited this year to select the winner of the 2015 Celtic Radio Album of the year. As posted earlier, we have a beautiful Crystal Glass award that really makes this recognition all the more sweet.

At this point we are down to 3 albums and our review has been a little slow, but we want to get this decision right so we will probably delay the announcement for 1 week, maybe 2 weeks but that is unlikely.

Our individual community awards are complete and you can see the results using the links above.

That's the update!

We have some good news, we have finished the review process for the 2015 Celtic Radio Music Award (Crystal Award for Album of the Year) and we will be making the announcement in several days.

This year we had some really tough competition and it all came down to three albums. Really the talent from these three groups was excellent; it would be very difficult to choose which was the more talented group.

What stood apart for one group was what our mission statement for the Celtic Radio Music World which states in part;

"recognize exceptional artists who display high standards of excellence both on the stage and off the stage and who have made significant contributions to Celtic Music "

We will have the results in a few days. Excited for the music group, I think they are going to be pumped about this award!

We wanted to share with everyone a photograph of our 2015 Album of the Year "Get Up Jack" band members in Ireland.

They recently went on tour and brought the Celtic Radio Music award to the Emerald Islands. Many thanks to them for sharing this picture with us and we will be post our official press release soon...
