In September OFM, the sound of Central South Africa, will present its very first music awards – the OFM Music Awards. OFM will recognise and reward local artists for their contribution to the music played on OFM and show special respect to the international artists who add value to the overall sound of the radio station.

The nominees in five categories for local and international artists, will be announced on 9 September 2015. Categories include Best Male and Female Artist, Best Group, Song of the Year and Album of the Year. OFM’s loyal listeners will have the opportunity to vote for their favourites until 27 September 2015.

The winners will be announced during the special OFM Music Awards radio show broadcast from the new state of the art OFM radio studios in Central Media House in Bloemfontein.

Says Nick Efstathiou, OFM General Manager: “We aim to recognise and reward local artists for their contribution to the music played on OFM and show special respect to the international artists who add value to the overall sound of the radio station. As central South Africa’s premier commercial radio station, we aim to recognise our most valuable asset – the music we playlist and the music that is requested through our channels by our loyal listeners.”
