AWARDS NIGHT - IMMIE AWARDS AT THE IMC

To kick off the Independent Music Conference in style, we have created a cool little award ceremony that gives some much deserved props to indies that have been doing it well for years. Help us pay tribute to these warriors by attending the Immie Awards at IMC!

   
L to R: At the IMC2003 Immie Awards, Nashville based band, Mink posed with their Immie for "Indie Record of the Year, 2003." Connecticut based artist Bill Pere posed with Philly local, Mia Kim and their Immies. Bill was awarded "Indie of the Year, 2003" for his outstanding work as an independent musician and charity fundraiser. He has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars through his various musical efforts to help address the issues of hunger and poverty. Mia was awarded an Immie for outstanding web design. The musician also works as a very talented web designer, and her skill is tastefully displayed on her own web site: MiaKimOnline.

   
L to R: Noel Ramos, Host of the Immie Awards, poses with Co-Host, Melissa St. Jude of Philly's 94WYSP FM. Melissa and Noel's wife, Elaine, surprised him with a sort of an "Immie" of his own. Elaine commissioned a beautiful calligraphic print featuring a special work of prose with deep personal meaning for Noel, and Melissa surprised him by presenting it to him during the ceremony! Gilli Moon, the awesome Australian/Californian singer/songwriter, thanks Noel as Melissa looks on. Gilli was awarded an Immie for "Indie Label of the Year, 2003," to honor her work as an artist and also as a huge supporter of the other indies on her own label: Warrior Girl Records.
