NMG Awards 2017

The NMG Awards are the annual awards night which celebrate and recognise the talent of the local music scene in Cambridge and surrounding towns and villages across all music genres and ages.

The NMG Awards evening will take place on September 15 2017 at the Cambridge Corn Exchange

The event is part of community radio station Cambridge 105’s flagship live music show, the New Music Generator.

The NMG Awards are open to any artist who has been featured on Cambridge 105′s New Music Generator show in the 12 months to May 31st, 2017, provided they are based within 50 miles of Cambridge city centre.

This year’s show will begin at 7:30pm with doors opening at 6:30pm and will feature the winners of all judged categories including Best Male, Female and Folk, Roots & Country Artist plus Breakthrough, Breakout Artist as well as audience decided categories such as Audience Choice and our brand new categories acknowledging the work local recording studios, producers and venues do for the music scene.

Tickets are available to artists priced £7 and to the general public priced £10 via the Cambridge Live Tickets website.

We like to change things up each year so in 2017 we’re introducing 3 brand new categories which recognise other parts of the music scene which are incredibly vital to helping you as artists do your thing.

Have you worked at a particularly good recording studio in the last year? Was there a producer who went the extra mile to make your music sound awesome? Which is the best music venue you’ve performed in over the past year?

We want your nominations! We’ll collate all of the entries and the top 5 in each category based on the number of nominations received will be put up for a public vote with the winner announced at the NMG Awards ceremony on 15th September.

Remember, there are a couple of rules here:

You can only submit 1 nomination per person per category
The nominee you are submitting must be based within 50 miles of Cambridge city centre.
Submissions remain open until 5pm on 31st August
Voting for the outright winner will open at midday on 1st September and close 2 weeks later.

If you are submitting a nomination for a venue, it must be 250 standing capacity or less
