"There's A Reward"

Reggae's Prestigious

JOE HIGGS MUSIC AWARDS

IFOUNDATION

In gratitude to JOE HIGGS - FATHER of REGGAE, the JOE HIGGS MUSIC AWARDS (JHMA) was founded and dedicated to his Honor and Memory, in 2006, by his daughter,  Marcia Higgs.
 

VISION

The Vision of Reggae's PrestigiousJOE HIGGS MUSIC AWARDS (JHMA), is... to not only acknowledge the "Mainstream," but also, to recognize and direct attention to, the award-worthy "Independent" and "Underground" acts of the Reggae Genre, stemming from Jamaica and/or any part of the WORLD.

 

PROCESS

All JHMA nominations must first meet the appropriate  content criterion, in terms of lyrical content, etc. A JHMA winner is decided, solely,  by virtue of the number of votes that the act receives. The JHMA criterion, categories, and nomination portals are published on the website for all to see. From there, the voters will submit a nomination form for each individual, group or band they feel deserve to take home the reward. The JHMA Committee then review the nominations, verifies that all criterions are met, the votes are tallied and the winner will be determined, solely, by the total number of votes or nominations received. The top 5 nominees will be notified and the individual, group or band with the most votes in each respective category will get the reward.

This will be used to offset overhead costs, such as the purchasing of awards, the renting of sound equipments and the securing of a proper venue. We are very committed to hosting ceremonies at educational institutions, as  Joe Higgs was an Educator, not just in Music, but in Math and the English as well.
