Experts from the music industry from all over the word have spoken. A special Haitian Jury panel comprised of experts of the Haitian music industry from Haiti, France, New York, Boston, Florida and Canada has nominated the Best Haitian Entertainers of 2013-2014.

The nominations were based on materials/songs released between January 2013 and July 31st, 2014 (a 6 months extension for this 33rd Awards). Jury took into consideration the social relevance of materials, originality, sales, local/national/international performances, quality of performances, and stage appearances.

"We count on the participation of all Haitians at this unique global Awards show in order to increase the promotion and exposure of the Haitian music on the global music industry," said DECLARED Farah Larrieux, the Director of THELAR Management Group who is also the Regional Event Manager for the IRAWMA.
