Each year the nominating committee and Board of Advisors will select nominees in the categories of Performer, Record, Producer, Remixer and DJ. Ballots are then sent to an international voting committee of over 1,000 dance music experts. Artists and others that helped shape the dance music industry become eligible for induction 25 years after their first contribution or record release.
Nominations are not based solely on the subject's revenue or popularity. Criteria also include the influence and significance of the nominee's contributions to the development and perpetuation of dance music.
In Spring of 2004 the Dance Music Hall of Fame will induct three performers, five records, one producer, one remixer and three DJs at the awards dinner.
Dance Music Hall of Fame (www.dmhof.com) - The Dance Music Hall of Fame will recognize the contributions of those who have had a significant impact on the evolution and development of dance music and will celebrate the history and significance of dance music.
