CMJ, the industry publication for college radio, has been doing college radio awards for a number of years now. They just opened up the nomination period for the 2011 College Radio Awards and anyone who subscribes to the CMJ New Music Report is eligible to nominate people or stations. The deadline is midnight on September 16 and the nominees will be announced soon after that. Final voting will take place in October during the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City (all badge holders can vote) and winners will be announced during CMJ’s College Day on October 20.
Some of the categories this year include: Station of the Year, Music Director of the Year, Sexiest Phone Voice, Most Adventurous Station and Outstanding Leadership in College Radio.
