Winners were invited to share their acceptance speeches live, a unique opportunity for recognition and global exposure. Entries are grouped by geographical continent or region, and then by music type and genre. A team of judges--including specialists from Hollywood's music, entertainment, film, and media sectors--assessed the songs and voted to determine the winners. They examined aspects such as the song's originality, message, melody, harmony, composition, and production quality.
