Thirty-eight categories seek to recognize the best of the Circuit
Nominations for the 7th Annual JustCircuit Awards™ and JustCircuit Hall of Fame™ will be taken from the general public beginning January 1, 2012 via the JustCircuit.com website and will continue throughout the month of January. The public will have the opportunity to submit their nominations in thirty-eight categories, which include DJ/Remixer of the Year, Best Podcast, Circuit Party of the Year and Best Up-and-Coming DJ among others.
The JustCircuit Awards™ recognize the best artists, events and products from Circuit and LGBT events worldwide. The top five most nominated in each category will be placed on the official ballot eventually to be voted upon by members of JustCircuit.com who have registered with the website prior to February 1, 2012. Voting will continue throughout the month of February, and winners to be revealed at the JustCircuit Awards™ Gala in Miami, Florida on Sunday, March 25, 2012, the final day of the Winter Music Conference. The Gala will be open to the public.
Registering your membership on JustCircuit.com is free and simple. Only the most recent ballot submitted by any registered member will be counted. JustCircuit boasts over 5200 registered members as of December 1, 2011.
Last year's winners include DJ Paulo, who won "DJ/Remixer of the Year", as well as DJ Gustavo Scorpio of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who won "Best Up-and-Coming DJ". Scorpio most recently headlined White Party Week Muscle Beach and the rebroadcast of his set recently pushed its way to #1 in the world on Podomatic.com and reached #1 in the competitive House music category.
"The success of the JustCircuit Awards is actually simple," states Shane Rogers, Executive Editor of JustCircuit.MAG (magazine). "No one knows the Circuit like our registered membership, which is comprised of an international cross-section of over 5,000 from our community who follow Circuit and LGBT events, music and lifestyles. The collective call of such a sampling from our community is one that truly recognizes real excellence throughout the party world. Winners aren't simply handpicked by some editorial board. These awards are from their peers. We at JustCircuit are pleased to be able to support and facilitate this process!"
The Awards Gala, held last March 13 and held on the final night of Winter Music Conference, went far to provide both a positive and progressive statement by the music industry for LGBT inclusion. The well-attended event was celebrity studded and featured the musical talents of four of the five nominated Up-and-Coming DJs. More details regarding the 2012 Gala will be announced in February when members of JustCircuit.com will be casting their ballots.
