MK is back with the 7th annual MK Awards which will see SA’s hottest music talent competing in 10 categories, where viewers votes will determine who will come out as winners at the finale event to be held at The State Theatre in Pretoria on 24 March 2013.
MK has changed things up a bit for this year’s awards by introducing the “Best SA Music Festival” and “Best Solo” categories. Phase one of the MK Awards 2013 took place between 10 and 25 January, where people had the opportunity to nominate who they felt best deserved to be in the “Best Live” and “Best SA Music Fest” categories. The artists and festival who came out with the most nominations by 25 January were included as official nominees.
Now that the full list of MK Awards 2013 nominees have been announced, viewers will have between 1 February and 8 March 2013, to vote on MK’s website and Facebook page.
