Welcome to the fourth annual ‘OGV Music Awards’! Voting now open…
It’s that time once again! It’s time to gather together, unite, and show love, support & appreciation to the DJ’s, Producers, Vocalists and Record Labels who have been lighting up our lives (and dancefloors) throughout 2024!
The Process
This years shortlists have been hand picked by a carefully chosen panel. This panel is made up of DJ’s, Producers & Vocalists, all of which are highly respected & established names within our scene. Each of these panel members have made one nomination in each category, but it’s up to YOU to decide the winners through public vote.
Place your votes now. Public voting ends 15th December. You DO NOT need to vote in every category. Simply make your selections then click the ‘END QUIZ’ button at the bottom of the voting page.
We’ve also introduced a ‘Spotlight’ category this year, aiming to shine a light on even more people who deserve recognition for their fantastic contributions & progress in recent years.
Let’s meet the Panel!

…but before you vote!
We would just like to remind everyone that the ‘OGV Music Awards’ is a completely non-profit event. Instead we aim to raise money for charitable causes. This years charity partner is ‘Be Instrumental!’, our very own instrument drive aiming to gift instruments, and to provide free music learning resources to children from low-income families.
Every child deserves the chance to learn to play music.
Please be instrumental in a child’s life! Please help us to give the gift of music.
We urge you to make a small donation and help generate even more positivity through our annual awards! We are also donating 100% of the profits raised from our merchandise store throughout December to ‘Be Instrumental!’, so please treat yourself, or a loved one to some of our merch this month, and rest in the knowledge that your purchased merchandise has helped make a huge contribution towards a kids musical life.
