MTV Asia Awards
MTV Asia is thrilled to announce that the inaugural MTV Asia Awards will be held in Singapore at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on February 2, 2002. The first of its kind in Asia, the MTV Asia Awards will be hosted by Mandy Moore amongst others, bringing together the largest gathering of international and Asian talents ever seen in this region. A live audience of 7,000 people is expected at the three-hour show, which will be taped and broadcast to over 130 million homes across the region.
Bringing recognition to the many leading talents of youth culture, MTV Asia will present 20 different awards during the show, including 11 Favourite Music Artist From Asia Awards, six International Music Awards, one Favourite Fashion Designer Award, one Favourite Movie Award and one Inspiration Award. MTV viewers across Asia will be able to participate in the voting process.
Pre-event and post-event shows will frame the ceremony, giving viewers a backstage view of the event. All three shows will be broadcast on MTV Asia channels and terrestrial partners across Asia, with portions of the programming carried across MTV's global network, the world's largest, with 35 channels reaching more than 366 million households worldwide.
To make the MTV Asia Awards truly reflective of the tastes of the Asian audience, the winners of all award categories, except for the inspiration award, will be voted by the viewers. The five nominees for each category will be announced on November 1, and the winners will be chosen through an open poll of viewers and fans in 10 markets. The inspiration award will be a special honor presented by MTV to either an inspiring individual whom young adults across Asia admire or to an organization that has contributed to the betterment of Asian youth and the region as a whole.
