The Southern California Music Awards consists of a series of events and performances dedicated to the recognition and further exposure of talented performers. Jewel's Catch One venue has been selected as G.R.I.P.’s choice to host its weekly nomination ceremony. G.R.I.P., Sony, Monster, Heineken and their affiliates are sending out, as well as accepting nominations, via email, from some of the best artists in the Southern California area!.

The SCMA is an ongoing, genre specific night of performances and vocalists acknowledgements. Invited nominees will be given an opportunity to perform and accept the recognition. The first night of performances by pre-nominated guests will be Tuesday, January 27th, 2009. Nominations will continue to be sent throughout the year and the recognition/ performances will go on every Tuesday night. The SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MUSIC AWARDS will culminate with a banquet ceremony at the end of the year and the selecting of the year’s Special Nominee.

This competition is not age, race, sexual orientation, or gender, specific. While the SCMA sponsors are actively sifting through its resources of talented singers to send nominations to, we also encourage others to nominate people they know (NO you cannot nominate yourself)
