In 2011-2012 The 25360 Awards will return to the South Puget Sound region of Washington State, again celebrating the achievement of Tacoma-Olympia-area (and beyond) Hip-Hop and community members.
I created The 25360 Awards in 2008 as a ceremony and vehicle to honor and recognize individuals and organizations who have been a part of advancing Hip-Hop culture, business and our community via the arts and/or activism. Awards such as MC of The Year, DJ of The Year, Radio DJ/Host of The Year, Man and Woman of The Year are just a sampling of the points of recognition. At one point, supported with the aid of The Weekly Volcano, The 25360 Awards now stands alone and is traditionally held during the annual Hip-Hop 4 The Homeless Weekend at the end of January (the 28th and 29th)... This year the location is still to be determined. But the awards and the show will go on - just letting y'all know. 'It Don't Stop, 'Til The Casket Drops'!
Nominations begin on December 1, 2011 and run through December 19, 2012. Voting begins on January 2 and ends on January 7th, 2012. Each person is encouraged to honor the process by nominating people and voting once per category.
Send nominations with no more than 5 sentences describing why you are nominating your party to THE25360@gmail.com.
Enjoy and celebrate and stay tuned for updates on the only award program, which focuses on the advancement of Hip-Hop and our community in The 25360.
Categories will be announced on December 1, 2011.
Peace, Love & Courage,
LUVVA J, In A Real Way!
