| What are the major differences between the Hawai'i Music Awards and the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards?
The Hawai'i Music Awards is the People's Choice or sometimes referred to as the popular vote, is an Internet-based marketing project to support music education, the music community and economic development for the state of Hawai'i. By opening the voting to the internet, it helps open up the world of Hawaiian Music to fans living outside of Hawaii and gives them a voice. The majority of voters of the Hawai'i Music Awards come from the nominees themselves, their fan base, and the many links they know will support them. To be considered for either award is an honor.
