The Ohio Hip Award "Cheating" Rules

We would like to thank everyone who participates in the Ohio Hip Hop Awards process. People across the state are submitting nominations every day for their favorite artists!

This is a great opportunity for everyone. The awards show is something that everyone wants to participate in and be a part of. Artists are campaigning through their music as well as through promotions. The nomination process is designed to let the people of the state to voice their opinion on who they think should be casted on the final ballot.

One thing we have noticed and have kept track of was the cheaters. This process is very important to a lot of people, and we cannot allow for invalid repeat nominations to tarnish that process. This form of "mass nominating" seems to be a concept used every year by a variety of people.

There are no rules against this, however, it is very easy to detect, and in no way gives you an advantage in the process. The online process is set up so that these mass nominations only flood our system, they do not in any way corrupt our calculations.

Please stop nominating yourself more than once. Its fairly obvious who is doing it by the nature of your nominations. (as well as the repetitions of your IP Addresses.)

We would just like everyone to know this.

Right now we are ahead of schedule for this years awards show. It will take place on September 20th 2008. The location is still undecided but we have our eyes on a couple of locations in Cleveland. Last year we had over 1,500 people in attendance, our goal for this year is 3,000. We need to get this sponsorship package out to as many business professionals as possible. Your job will be to contact business and establish a relationship with them. Sell them the idea of the sponsorship and refer them to us. For every closed deal, you will get 20% commission. The package has everything a business could ask for when it comes to sponsoring events. Let me know if there is anything you think of that might make the package better. We need you to sell the packages as they are written so that you can get your %20, however, if your prospect wants to negotiate with us let us know so we can work it out.

Aside from all this artistist promotion my goal is to keep everyone informed of Hip-Hop culturally by not only keeping everyone connected to the future of Hip-Hop but the past. If at all you are still interested in helping me out with my project, in return Im helping out promoting you, so everyone locally can keep up-to-date with who is doing what in your current cities.

I am personally going to attend shows whenever possible between school and work, let me know and I'll be there, because its not fair to support what I never seen or heard that's not me. If you still with me after reading this shoot me and email at
