MUSIC WEEK AWARDS 2010 - Online Categories
Music Week is breaking with tradition for this year’s Music Week Awards by giving you the chance to help to determine the winners of three brand new categories. 
The categories in question are Festival Of The Year, Studio Of The Year and Music Mobile App Of The Year with voting for all three taking place exclusively on musicweek.com. 
You can now make your choice for each category from a long list of contenders, all of whom have achieved notable success within their respective field during 2009. The online voting will create shortlists for the three categories, while the overall winners for each category will be announced and the prizes presented at the awards ceremony at the London Hilton on Park Lane on Thursday, April 15.
