Our annual celebration of North America’s electronic music scene is back after a three-year hiatus
Voting is now open for the DJ Mag Best of North America Awards 2022.
After a three-year hiatus, on the other end of a pandemic, the nominations have been announced — and we’re once again providing you with the opportunity to show love to your favourite DJs, producers, live acts, labels, clubs and innovators in our annual celebration of North America’s electronic music scene.
Across 16 categories, DJ Mag’s Best of North America awards seek to celebrate the wide spectrum of sounds being created by artists from the United States and Canada.
Following in the footsteps of DJ Mag’s annual Best of British awards, a new award has been added this year. The award for Underground Hero aims to celebrate the champions of grassroots music communities.
One point of note is that the music awards (tracks, albums, compilations and remixes cover the period from 1st January 2021 – 22nd May 2022.)
Voters have always been able to register their votes through a social sign in, using either a Google or Facebook account. But new for 2022, DJ Mag has introduced the ability to register with an Apple ID. This addition gives users additional privacy controls while also opening the process up to more than 99% of smartphone users in North America, making it our most accessible poll to date.
DJ Mag’s Best of North America awards cover the territory in which the DJ Mag North America print edition is distributed, which is USA & Canada. DJ Mag Mexico is a licence of DJ Mag owned by a separate publisher, and thus owns the rights to any localised awards.
Voting is open now until 1st June 2022. You can vote at vote.djmag.com.
