Billboard is bringing back its peer-voted Country Power Players’ Choice Award for 2024, asking music industry members from all sectors to honor the executive they believe had the most impact across the Country music genre in the past year.
Voting is now open to all Billboard Pro members, both existing and new, with one vote per member per round.
The Power Players’ Choice Award will run alongside Billboard’s annual Country Power Players list of the genre’s most influential executives, which will be announced in May.
Billboard launched its first Players’ Choice Award with the Power 100 list in January 2023, followed by the first Country Power Players’ Choice Award that concluded in June and the R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players’ Choice Award in August and the Latin Power Players’ Choice Award in September. In 2024, the peer-voted award has expanded to also cover International Power Players and Top Music Lawyers.
The first round of voting for the Country Power Players’ Choice Award is now open with an open call for nominees and will run through April 14.
The second round of voting will begin April 15, in order to narrow down the top 15 nominees into the final five top executives and will run through April 21.
The third round of voting will begin April 22, to select the winner from that list. Voting concludes April 28 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
