Help Create Hypebot’s New Music Business Awards
WE’VE BEEN GETTING SOME GREAT IDEAS VIA EMAIL AND A FEW IN COMMENTS BELOW; SO WE THOUGHT WE’D ASK FOR YOUR IDEAS ONE MORE TIME.
This is just the beginning of an idea…
To honor and encourage the creative pioneers that are moving the music business forward, we’re creating the annual (working title) Hypebot New Music Business & Technology Awards. (The Hypey’s?) We’ll do it in the summer or early fall when folks have more time to make more informed choices and to avoid the end of year Top 10 clutter.
For starters we’d like your suggestions for categories. We don’t to have a million of them. Just enough to hit the various niches. major, indie, d.i.y., web sites, blogs(?), viral marketing… are just a few ideas to get things started.
What categories do you think should be included in The Hypebot New Music Business & Technology Awards? Comment below or email here.
Best “Man I Wish I Would’ve Thought of That”
(Most unique idea)
ie. FatCat posting demos, Tesla’s double CD, etc.
Great idea! Keep ’em coming.
how ’bout Best Internet Radio Station (if there any left) Hypey
Best Digital Download Store (legit)
Bset Download Site (maybe not-so- legit)
“Most In Tune With Music Downloaders”
“Most Out of Tune With Music Downloaders”
“Worst Offender Of Privacy & Copyright Rights”
How about an award for a label that actually adds value? And some recognition for the best promotion via web2.0/social networking/whatever umbrella phrase the kids are using today.
I’m biased, but I’d love to see some technical categories too, like “best indie recording site.”
Best New Technology
