Thousands of submissions from Australia to Zimbabwe have been
reviewed
and the Finalists for the 7th Annual Independent Music
Awards have been determined.
Congratulations to all who participated in the program.
Regardless of whether you’re included in this list of Finalists, we
applaud and support your music and passion.
We will continue to
nurture your music success and urge you to remain committed to the
IMAs and to your career.
While we won’t know for another few weeks who the Judges will select
as this year’s Winners, Music Resource Group and the Independent
Music Awards are pleased to announce the Finalists below.
DO YOUR PART
Support your peers and Indie Music – go to the Finalist Jukebox to
listen, discover and vote for your favorite artist tracks.
While this “peoples choice” vote will not affect the Judges final
decisions, these IMA Vox Populi winners will be announced in
January and promoted throughout 2008.
We will announce the IMA Winners as soon as the Judges have
made their selection – sometime in December.
Wishing you great Success,
The Independent Music Awards/Musician's Atlas/Music Resource Group
