October Scheduled to take place in November, the upcoming event is set to be met both with anticipation and a string of backlash from the fans. Well, to start off, the nominees and winners of the CMAs are chosen by an exclusive group of professionals in the industry. These professionals are known to choose the winning artists by assessing the quality of work that they have put into their work, as opposed to determining popularity alone.
In turn, some fans get agitated when their idols do not get nominated for the said awards show. The group of professionals who collaborate to determine the winners for each award for the CMAs is comprised of individuals who each have a specific role in the world of music. Some of them are managers, artists, songwriters, publicists, and even journalists.
Even record and publishing companies can sign up to be a member of the CMAs. As a member of the exclusive group of judges, each one is tasked to annually pay a membership fee. The membership varies per level, but all are entitled to the advantage of casting their vote for the CMAs.
The only ones exempted from joining the voting process are CMA employees. To be a qualifying candidate for the awards, the artist must have released music along the allotted timeframe. This year, only songs released from July 1, , to June 30, , are considered to take part. The voting process consists three rounds. During the first round, members of the CMA are to nominate one artist or act per category. Their votes are cast in the initial ballot, where the 20 artists who will be receiving the most number of votes during this round will be moving on to the next round of voting.
These 20 individuals will also be hailed as the official nominees of the CMAs, with an exception for the Entertainer of the Year award.
