return.
The awards return to the Fantasy Dome, Trade Fair Centre on March
16, 2019. It is happening on the heels of last year’s successful run at
the same venue.
Organizers say 3Music Awards 2019 will feature some new changes
and addition. The awards will feature a number of events including a
live nomination show and a night dedicated to legends, 3Music
Legends.
The awards categories have also grown to include more genre and
song-specific categories. The first edition of the awards had more
act-specific categories, organizers have clarified.
The various social media categories have all morphed into the
Digital Act of the Year category, which will reward the best use of
social and online media by talents to acquire the biggest fanbase,
drive interactivity and social impact. Fan Army of the Year returns
with much more excitement. The winning Fan Army gets an
opportunity to stage a concert to be headlined by their talent at the
Fantasy Dome later in the year.
Voting mechanics for the 2019 3Music Awards will see some changes
as well. Prominently, it will feature innovation that measures
