Like many of you, I have received an e mail asking me to pay my dues to Outmusic and then submit my cd for consideration for an OMA award. This just seems unseemly to me, the idea that you have to pay to play for an award. And while it is appealing to think that you could have your work receive an award, isn't that lessened by the knowledge that your work is not judged against all queer music released in a year, but instead judged against all paid-up members of an organization?
I just feel that while Outmusic is trying to increase their revenue, and that is necessary, they should not be doing so by diminishing the prestige of their awards.
