BT is calling for entries for the 2006 BT Digital Music Awards, which take place at the newly-refurbished Camden Roundhouse in London on 3 October 2006. The deadline for entries is August 21, after which expert judging panels will consider all of the entries and select the shortlists. From September, music fans will be given the chance to vote for their favourites at the Awards official online home. The awards include one for Best Use of Mobile, which was won last year by Natasha Bedingfield for a live concert broadcast from the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts), broadcast to 3 mobiles in March.
Fans can vote for 14 of the awards including Best Artist according to genre, Best Podcast and Best Music Magazine. Five of the awards, including Best Artist Campaign, Best Use of Broadband and Best Innovation will be judged by the panel alone. The Peoples Choice Awards – this year expanded to include Best Unsigned Artist Site and Best Music Blog categories – are open to music fans that create and develop their own online music presence.
Last years awards were dominated by Gorillaz and Coldplay who scooped two and three awards respectively, although Coldplay were beaten in the Best Rock Artist category by Stereophonics, whose loyal online fanbase kept the Welsh band at the top of the scoreboard.
