Here's A Little History About the #LJDiamondAwards

Our very first award was given in March 2015 for the 2014 Nominees and our very first winners Cosmic Crash for "Most Popular Indie Music Artist" and Mike Aloia of American Hearts Radio for "Most Popular Interview" on the LJDNShow. Every year after that there were always 2 awards given away the winners are always chosen by the artist that received the most votes up until 2019.  In 2019 Lina Jones decided to have the awards in music genres which was a huge success. Two categories did not win a trophy due to a lack of votes. Those categories were the Rap & RB and Reggae genre, those trophies still sit in her studio today.

 

There is a serious lack of disrespect and loyalty in the Independent Artist community. That has been increasing during the years and we are done, the awards were created for Independent Artist and we are leaving that genre, therefore there is no need for awards.

In 2017 there was only one award given due to the cost of the award, and the winner of the LJ DiamondNetwork Awards was Cosmic Crash. At that time there we did not have an award for each genre it was called the "Most Popular Independent Music Artist" award.

Trophy Design Changes

Over the years picking just the right trophy was a challenge, our budget did not allow for  Lina to have it custom made, that was cool because there were many beautiful trophies to choose from, as you can see from the pictures below. 2017 Award was the most expensive because Lina did not want the acrylic, she wanted the glass trophy,  because she chose the glass trophy the budget did not allow for multiple trophies. That was the only year we only had one trophy, we learned that lesson quickly.  However, we fell in love with the "Reach For the Stars" model which we will keep until we can have our own design.
