Transparency Statement

We know that in today’s world, transparency matters. The Boston Music Awards are organized and produced by Redefined, a company with strong ties to multiple Boston music-focused projects. When it comes to nominations and voting, Redefined does not submit ballots or take part in the process. Nominations come entirely from our independent Nomination Committee of around 400 music industry professionals. If a publication, venue, or project connected to Redefined is nominated, it’s because the committee put them forward, not through Redefined involvement.

Why not just remove affiliated nominees? Our nominations have always been based solely on the ballots submitted by the committee. To remove nominees chosen by the committee would mean altering the true outcome of the process, and that’s something we won’t do.
