EMA voting is so close yet so far away.

On 27 September, the official 2016 EMA nominees will be announced and fans will get to start casting their votes for all of their favorite artists and performers.We can hardly wait for the 27th September to get here so we’re kicking off a round of pre-nominee voting today!!!!!

Dong Nhi
Gentle Bones
RAISA ANDRIANA
Sarah Geronimo

And now it’s up to the fans to decide who the final nominee will be. The local act who gets the most votes during this round of pre-voting will go on to be a (insert local Act category name) nominee and compete against the others in that category.
