MTV would very much like us to make it clear to you that even though our name is Exposure Music Awards! we probably shouldn’t abbreviate said name to its, well its abbreviation, EMA, on account of the fact they happen to have some awards with the same initials.
We’re not entirely sure that we want to make this clear to you, as it doesn’t quite make sense to us really. What we are sure of is that we like MTV (no really folks we do) as it has been religiously pumping out tunes and innovating music on the box since year dot, MTV2 rox.
As well as this it’s fair to say that we love music and everything we ever do here at Raven Black Music & Exposure Music Awards! is designed to find talent, promote talent, exploit talent, n we mean that in an Artist making a living kind of a way, so get real and get on side:
Hear us warble on about what we’re trying to achieve here on delicious local radio.
See us cavort in slightly unsensible ways with the artists at this year’s awards.
And watch this space as we turn this baby into a talent machine …

Last Call for Exposure Registration:
All registrations must be complete by Fri 9th May to be eligible.
We’ve had another late surge of bands enquiring about the Exposure Music Awards! So we’ve further extended the deadline to enable them to get their Tourdates Artist Profile sorted and get their entry code
Note: we do have ‘Best out of area Artist’ and ‘Best International Artist’ categories also see: Voting.
If you get your Submissions to us before Mon 14th Apr we will also consider you for one of the live slots at the main event on Sat 31st May at Park Campus Cheltenham.
Looking to get a great range of talent playing the inaugural event; so what are you waiting for Register and good luck!
Covering the whole of South Central Britain, the Exposure Music Awards! are now also looking for another worthy organisation, in their area of operation, to build an ongoing partnership for both fund raising, awareness and direct practical help.
Dean G Hill of Tourdates.Co.UK, Martin Brown of The Orange County Music Awards and Mr. Joe Wilson, of the internationally successful British Indie Rogues The Sneaker Pimps, have forged an alliance of musical expertise in this unique and giving venture.
“We have a burning desire to find the Very Best Acts In Heartland Britain”, says Dean “… and while we’re about it we can use this thing to do some good, both out there in the great wide world and in the Communities, in which these talented artists live and about which they write.” Martin’s many years of experience of running his Acclaimed Music Awards added to the fact that Joe now runs the Popular Music Degree over at the University of Gloucestershire Pittville Campus, should help achieve these aims. The whole of the music community seem to be up for this exciting new event, taking place on Sat 31st May at Park Campus Cheltenham and many community organisations such as the Gloucestershire Media Group, co-ordinated by Emma Heathcote-James are lending their support. The word is starting to spread…
To Enter Artists have to submit their best song via the website: www.ExposureMusicAwards.org and the judges, all industry professionals, will individually score each and every song submitted. The top five scores in each will become the nominees in that category. The awards show will hand out the accolades in over 15 categories, and there will be performances from some of the best live bands and solo acts from across the region. So from Swansea to St Albans and Stoke-on-Trent to Southampton, if you love music or play music, dive into the Exposure Music Awards!
