RAMI Nomination Form - Recordings

RAMI Nomination Guidelines for Recordings

The following award recipients will be determined by the RAMI Critic’s Choice Nomination Committee. Members of this committee who are being considered for any of these awards will abstain from participating in the selection process.

Anyone may submit a nomination for the Recording categories; Song of the Year, Ablum of the Year, and Composer. Submissions will only be accepted online through the form below.

Song of the Year
This award is presented to an artist (solo, duo or group) for an original song or musical composition that was released during the eligibility year. The artist should designate two (2) tracks from album-length CD or EP submissions for consideration in this category. Single track recordings may also be nominated.

Album of the Year
This award is for album-length recording projects released during the eligibility year. Album-length shall be defined as a project containing no less than six (6) tracks. Album will be judged as a complete package, on all aspects including quality of performance, composition/arrangement, production, and design.

Composer of the Year
This award recipient is chosen based on song/music composition abilities as exhibited in a body of work released in a given eligibility year. This typically (though not exclusively) will be for an album-length CD release.

Notes:

All song tracks must be in MP3 format. You will not be able to upload files in any other format.
There are two slots to nominate for Song of the Year. These are marked as Best Song.
You may upload a maximum of 10 song tracks for your submission.
