I'd like to get this done by April 30, but the sooner the better as the nominee deadline is April 30. I really don't want the awards to be English-centric, but so far everyone involved is white. We do have prominent female participation, but despite the fact my wife is of Asian descent my music network is almost entirely white. Despite many efforts I haven't been able to get many #Asians or #Africans on #MusicManumit. We've stopped doing Music Manumit at a time that works for Africans, Europeans, or those in the #MiddleEast, so the #CCMA is my way to try to bring people together.
Part of the problem is we are trying to stay away from blocSonic musicians so they can be nominated and not have conflicts being judges.
