"Generating more than 2 million votes and counting in less than two weeks underscores the passion and imperative need for a centralized celebration of achievement and innovation in the growing digital music space."

The show will be preceded by a week of events beginning this Monday, with the naming of two or more of the fan-voted award winners every day in the run-up to the big show. And because this isn't your granny's awards show, the hardware will be handed out in a number of innovative ways, including live streaming, viral videos, announcements on social media and winner acceptances via digital video conferencing.

You'll also be able to get your winner announcements through the O Music Awards Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr accounts.

"I've been freestyling since I was 14 years old, and this is definitely me putting myself to the test. I really think I can break the record but, regardless, this is going to be a dope moment. I am ready to just go and go!" said Anamege.

In keeping with the unpredictable nature of the show, the final three awards will be announced on April 29, the day after the broadcast, and the O site will continue to celebrate innovation in the digital space and keep handing out awards based on fan demand.

"We've painstakingly designed this entire experimental experience to embody and reflect the medium it is celebrating," said McCormack. "In the spirit of digital culture, the next O Music Awards could pop up two months or even a year from now. One thing is certain; it will happen when the fans demand it."
