Thursday (10/12), the organizers finally announced the series of nominations. All Releases From November 2019 To November 2020 Are Eligible To Be Nominated This Year.
Golden Disc Awards (GDA) is known as one of the awards events that were held at the beginning of the year. Just like the previous events, GDA 2021 will also be held for 2 days in early 2021, namely in January.
It was previously announced that the 35th Golden Disc Awards will be held on January 9 and 10, 2021. The first day will be held for the Digital Song Division, while the second day is for the Albums Division. The organizers also released details regarding their nomination entry requirements.
Today, Thursday (10/12), the organizers have finally announced a series of nominations. All releases from November 2019 to November 2020 are eligible to be nominated this year. Candidates are selected based on quantitative measures such as sales. The final winner is chosen 60% based on sales and 40% based on the judgment by a panel of judges.
For the album division award, only albums with at least six songs (excluding intro, outro, and instrumentals) are eligible. OST and project songs from TV programs are not considered. Data regarding sales and usage on streaming sites through mid-December will be reflected in the results.
The voting process is only available for the Popularity Award, which will be 100 percent determined by voting until December 31 at 11:59 p.m. KST. Online voting itself will not be conducted for one of the major category awards (Daesang) and will only be held for popularity awards.
