Southern Entertainment Awards!
Welcome to the hottest awards show in the South! The Southern Entertainment Awards is here to represent for those responsible for contributing to the growth of southern music. We highlight the accomplishments of the top DJ's, Producers, Recording Artists, Labels, Websites, Retail Stores, Models and Clothing companies in the SOUTH. Our awards show is designed to give credit to those left out by other award shows, and also to shine light on independent artists, but the south as a whole.
We started this awards show in 2004, and had over 752 people in attendance. We exceeded those numbers in 2005 & 2006 with attendance numbers well of over 1,200 people. As we move closer to the 4th Annual Southern Ent. Awards we are expecting over 2,500 people to attend this event during the weekend of Jan 25-28, 2007 at The Grand Casino Resort in Tunica, MS. The Southern Ent Awards now covers all 11 states in the South: (TN, GA, OK, TX, MS, FL, AR, AL, NC SC and LA) and we are currently backed by almost 400 DJs and 200 Independent Record Labels. We represent the "Who's Who" of Entertainment in the South, and it has been noted in various magazine articles that this event has filled a long over-due void in the SOUTH.
The Southern Entertainment Awards is a great place to see and hear some of the HOTTEST MUSIC IN THE SOUTH! We provide a weekend full of activities designed to recognize & promote Southern Music, and at the same time create an ideal environment for networking with various people in the industry. We will, not only bring the South together as a whole, but to also provide a pedestal for Southern Music that the World will have to recognize.
If you record, distribute, market, manufacture, model, advertise or love music, the Southern Entertainment Awards is a MUST ATTEND EVENT for you. We support the mix-tapes, artists, labels, magazines, websites and anyone who not only celebrates Southern Music, but also promotes its advancement. We feel that it is our duty to honor those and broadcast their accomplishments to the World!
