Nominees Announced for the 2011 RightOutTV Music Video Awards

Tuesday, November 01, 2011

Nominees for the 2011 RightOutTV Music Video Awards include 40 different Out LGBTI music artists from around the globe, says Marlee Walchuk, co-producer with Tully Callender of RightOutTV.com and this inaugural awards competition. After a month of viewing videos in 12 categories, a panel of judges comprised of industry professionals from all corners of the music business and from radio, publishing, press, promotion and production have nominated the finalists. "The judges had a tough time deciding on the nominees with such a strong and diverse range of talent and they all mentioned how much they enjoyed the process," says Walchuk. "Craig Zurba from MR&D Studios emphasized how impressed he was with the quality and emotional impact of the videos. "After making her choices, Donna Britton from Shadow Mountain Publishing graciously offered one free 6-month membership for the winner in the Pop/Rock Pro Category as well as discounted memberships for all of the winners in the other categories. This will enable these Out LGBTI artists to promote their songs for film and television," adds Walchuk. The nominated music videos will now go through another judging process. Winners will be announced on November 27, 2011. And the Nominees are: BEST VIDEO (DIY - Do It Yourself) Avi Wisnia - Rabbit Hole SONiA & disappear fear - Is There Anybody Here?
