Even though we won’t be able to distribute statuettes or trophees, we still decided to organize Trailer Music Awards for 2012!

This year, rich in events, saw the creation of various new companies, the release of many albums, the emergence of new and promising artists in the industry – whether they are composers, solo vocalists, graphic designers, conductors, producers… – , excellent placements of tracks in trailers, and, in the end, a lot of new and sometimes incredible epic music.

To find out who or what was most appreciated during that year, we recently started online-voted awards via Facebook.

Fans, this is a great opportunity to vote for your favorite artists and music in 2012, and support them. Professionals of the trailer music industry, feel free to vote too – as long as you don’t vote for youself of course!

To vote, please head over to our Facebook page to discover all the categories of awards and the nominees. If, however, you don’t have any Facebook account, here are two solutions:

1. Create a Facebook account

OR 2. Submit your votes via email at trailermusicnews@gmail.com.

Votes end on February, 8th. The winners will be announced the following day. Feel free to spread the word and share this – the more people vote, the more interesting the results will be!
