Additional information about the awards:

Our three step review process started with a total of 388 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 the judges 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. New for 2008 is the addition of a 6th music category for Contemporary Celtic 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 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.
