The LAMAs have come to ACIDplanet looking for the latest in electronic music: electronica, trance, techno…any of the core genres that have put AP on the cybermap.

From all the entries, five finalists will be selected by the LAMA staff. Those five will make a triumphant return to ACIDplanet for the video creation portion of the event. The winning video will then be screened at the LAMAs (and seen by an extensive collection of industry insiders and power brokers, 'natch), and the winning producer will receive prizes galore.

About the Los Angeles Music Awards

In March of 1991, Al Bowman sat across the table from his good friend Bill Gazzarri, the legitimate Godfather of Rock n' Roll, at the legendary Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood. Gazzarri, owner of the famous club on Sunset Strip (now known as the Key Club), was only three days from his death on that memorable evening. Gazzarri made a heartfelt personal appeal to Bowman to continue Gazzarri's legacy and give life to his desire for a more unified local music scene. On that same fateful night, Gazzarri affectionately called Bowman the Godson of Rock n' Roll, gifted him with his famed white Fedora hat and offered his personal appeal to carry on the voice of independent music in L.A.

From humble beginnings, in 1982, Al Bowman founded and operated a small fleet of limousines whose clients regularly included music legends such as Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Ratt, Dokken, Bon Jovi, Prince, Madonna, and a host of other celebrities from film and television. In the course of his business Bowman made numerous valuable contacts and repeatedly attended the Grammys, Oscars, American Music Awards and other special events. By studying these events up close, Bowman learned how to structure a large scale awards production, and the seeds for what would become the Los Angeles Music Awards had been planted in Bowman's mind.

The Los Angeles Music Awards was founded in 1991. It was dedicated to the memory of Bill Gazzarri. Every subsequent year, the Godfather of Rock n' Roll receives accolades from the organization for his inspiration in making this yearly event a reality.

During its first five years in existence, the focus of the music industry shifted from LA to Seattle. These were formidable years for the Los Angeles Music Awards, as no one was willing to sponsor the event or recognize the participating artists as viable in the commercial marketplace. It wasn't until 1996 when Sugar Ray, System of a Down and Save Ferris broke out of the local scene into national prominence that major sponsors began to respond with financial contributions. By 2000, the list of LA Music Award success stories began to expand into the American mainstream and beyond. That year, the event was held at the Beverly Hilton International Ballroom, the same location where the Golden Globe Awards are held.

On November 21st, the day of the event, Mayor Richard Riordan declared it "Los Angeles Music Awards Day." Now in its 17th year, the LAMAs are the longest running major awards show for independent artists in history! It enjoys the support of major title sponsors, an ongoing television arrangement, and participation of artists from across the globe. 2007 promises to surpass previous years in being the most elaborate production in the history of the event
