The Hawaii Music Awards are a yearly contest held at the beginning of the
year that recognizes artists and musicians living in Hawaii, Hawaiian and
Polynesian musicians living anywhere in the world, and international artists who
perform Hawaiian or Polynesian-style music. These artists are eligible to
compete if they have released commercially-available music of any style the
previous calendar year. Winners are determined by online voting from a public
audience around the world. Anyone with an internet connection may cast a vote.

The Brown Bags To Stardom (BBTS) competition was started over 25 years ago
back in 1981 as a live talent show, and it has launched the careers of great
performers, such as Tia Carerre, Kapena and Glenn Medeiros. It has helped to
build the self-esteem and confidence of students, rallied schools and increased
school spirit, inspired thousands of television viewers, and is expected to
become a national and global phenomenon through the Internet as the premier
talent showcase for teenagers. The contest ended in 2000, but Johnny Kai and the
Music Foundation of Hawaii, "took over the reigns" in 2006 and re-launched the
talent contest with a slightly different format using 2-minute music videos
submitted by contestants and aired on TV and on the Internet.
