Nominations are now open for the Film & TV Music Awards, the industry’s first peer awards program.

From October 1-15, members of the Film & TV Music Academy can vote in each category among the top five nominated people for each category during the nominations phase. The Film & TV Music Academy is the voting body that has been created for the awards. Membership is available at no cost and is open to anyone working in or studying to work in the film and television music industry.

Film & TV Music Academy members can login to the awards site and make nominations using the site’s custom nomination and voting software systems. Nominations can be made and updated any time until midnight September 20. “We’re thrilled about this new awards program - it’s about time that awards were given to the film and television music industry, by the industry. There are enough other awards programs where the inancial success of a show or movie seems to be the primary emphasis - with the Film & TV Music Awards, the focus is exclusively on the quality of the music as judged by one’s peers in the industry,” said awards founder Mark Northam.
