Title: The Denniz Pop Awards
Post by: turnaround on March 22, 2013, 09:15:58 PM
http://dennizpopawards.com/

Hey guys, have you already heard of the Denniz Pop awards?

Sounds fantastic, lovely idea!!

QuoteDenniz Pop Awards is an initiative by former Cheiron members, co-workers, friends and family. The idea of the Award is to help new songwriters, producers and artists continue the legacy Denniz once started. We would also like to recognize the Swedish international success-of-the-year, through the Grand Prize Award.

The second reason why we are doing this is to raise money to the Denniz Pop Foundation. The Foundation was started a few years back to contribute to the struggle to fight cancer. The Denniz Pop Award is a non-profitable music award controlled by the Denniz Pop Awards Stiftelse (number 1023608).

The Denniz Pop Award is financed by donations, SKAP, sponsors and a charity award ceremony. If you feel like donating visit our donate page and have your name appear on the recognition wall.

We hope that the Denniz Pop Awards is something that will continue for years to come recognizing what Denniz did for Swedish music around the world.

Some exciting news guys!! I just wrote a mail to the persons responsible:

-----

Question: Will the jury attend the ceremony?
Answer: "Correct, the jury will attend."

Q: Are non-winners, also non-Scandinavian non-winners, allowed to attend the ceremony?
A: "Everyone is allowed to attend the ceromony no matter the nationality, but the places will be very limited. We will publshing more info on this later on the site so keep your eyes open."

-----

So maybe we can score with the fact that we are such big fans that we even created a forum for the Cheiron writers. What do you think? And most important: who of you would surely attend the ceremony (early in May)?

Title: Re: The Denniz Pop Awards
Post by: Joshua on March 29, 2013, 11:51:22 AM
Is anyone here good at setting this sort of thing up? We just need to be able to individually send donations to one account and then someone can make the group donation on the forum's behalf on the website. It doesn't need to be a huge amount per member, and if everyone helps out a little, we're sure to be able to make a good contribution. We should send out PM's to all members as well to get as many donations as possible. It's all for a great cause, so let's show our support!
Title: Re: The Denniz Pop Awards
Post by: turnaround on March 29, 2013, 01:49:42 PM
In the admin section of the forum there is the possibility to send a PM to all members.

But I need a short text preferably written by a native speaker  ;D


Is it possible to set-up a separate Paypal-Account for this cause to gather the individual donors and then donate the amount to the Denniz Pop Award Paypal-Account?
Or can you have a separate account in an existing one?

Do you mean a native English speaker? I can do it if you like!

Yeah I think a PayPal account would be the best way to go. I've just done some reading, and you can have multiple e-mail addresses within one account, so you'd just need to setup a forum e-mail address (which you probably already have being an admin) and add it to your PayPal account. You can also set the account up to allow for payments directly from credit cards (for forum members who might not have a PayPal account). It seems you can setup a "donation button" that could go on the front page of the forum, and the website mentions being able to e-mail donation requests as well, which we would obviously do through PM's. The only thing I'm not sure on is whether you can do all of this with just a personal account.

Check this out though...

Title: Re: The Denniz Pop Awards
Post by: turnaround on March 29, 2013, 08:00:01 PM
Said and done.
I've set up a seperate email adress: cheironmusic@gmail.com and added it to my Paypal-account.

Then I added a DONATE/SPENDEN button on the main site.

It says "SPENDEN" as my Paypal-Account is set to German.

Check: http://www.swedishsongs.de (you might have to do a refresh of the site)

I haven't found the option for receiving credit-card donations. Maybe that's not possible with "personal accounts"..

But nevertheless. If you could write a little text that I can use to email all members it would be great.  (in the PMs I can also add the link where you can donate)

I hereby assure that all payments will handled confidently and all money raised is used for a donation towards the Denniz Pop Foundation.

Post by: Joshua on March 30, 2013, 09:31:37 AM
I've sent you a PM turnaround. Is there anyway you can temporarily change your account to be in English? It's just that I went to the donation page and the whole thing was in German. ;D

I think the donation process you've got is fine, people without an account only have to put in their e-mail and create a PayPal password while putting in their credit card info anyway, so it's all pretty easy.

Great! I think the credit card section on that page is purely for the PayPal signup process only, but it doesn't matter. Also, one other little thing, the front page of the forum should say "we are having a fundraiser"... just to help you with your English. :) Let's get fundraising!

As far as I can tell, the donations contribute to both cancer research and the prize money awarded on the night. So you're helping cancer research and Scandinavian talent!

Seriously agree.....I mean c'mon, if you're already working with One Direction let's get real, you're hooked in!! Makes it seems like an industry insider's award instead of looking for new people.  (confession: I entered -- didn't realize it was only for Scandinavian songwriters until after I entered, lol :-)  Even so, I called 'em out about it in a Tweet to Denniz PoP Awards.......it's ridiculous they're giving it to people already getting royalties from a One Direction single! I re-read the category and it said "open to anyone who writes or produces songs". Sorry for the rant, but I hate Industry  s**t like this.......

And I also thought brand new talent would be awarded and not already signed songwriters who had cuts on major releases.

Btw: Did Nedler, Fogelmark had any other releases so far. Where did they come from and how did they meet Rami?

Post by: AlexanderLaBrea on June 04, 2014, 11:59:01 AM
I hade the same gut reaction to his nomination, but "Problem" came out just a couple of days before the last appliance date for the DPA. Granted, he had worked with some reasonably respected artists before, but it was really with "I Wish" that he broke through. So by Billboard, top producer standards he's a rookie. But of course, one could argue that now when he's working with Max Martin, Savan, Shellback etc, he doesn't need the money nor the buzz or connections. I had my bet on Tove Lo as songwriter as she's great but haven't really had a BIG hit yet. But she'll probably win the artist award.

It's hard, but if I had a say in it, it would mean more if the award had gone to someone who's basically a bedroom producer, but shows real talent, someone who needs that last push.

I hade the same gut reaction to his nomination, but "Problem" came out just a couple of days before the last appliance date for the DPA.

Well, not in the US, but the remix of Habits is a Top 10 hit in Norway, UK and NZ.
And that's pretty good for a newcomer.

Also, she's doing gigs in the US and even played on SXSW... which is like the mecca of newcomer performers in almost everything: arts, music, performative art, technology, app development, etc.

I think she's not a mainstream artist at all, but she'll be a really successful songwriter and an indie artist in her own right.

Its kind of sad to see that this award is yet another "award-for-success" prize (not unlike the Grammys/Oscars etc) rather than the scholarship-type award it portrayed itself to be at first.

I mean, why even ask people to submit songs when they award the prize to producers that had a hit single with one of the biggest pop acts last year? And this year it is repeated with Ilya and LukiPop being nominated, who has been in the game for some time and both had huge hits this past year.

The nominees and winners are even close friends/working with/signed to some of the judges.

Not to take a piss at the success of these guys, it is well deserved - but the last thing we need is another award show for people who are already inside the thick walls of the music industry...

Well guys, every award in the world is meant to get some recognition and press for the artists and producers, etc and get some buzz around it.

That's the only reason.

yeah, this award does seem like it's for songwriters who have had success and are already working with the judges or their friends, not unknowns. I really like Lukipop and Ilya. I suppose Ilya will win it.

looks like they're squashing Max lol

btw, translation by google:

"We auction off a signed Zlatan team shirt which he used in the match. A Damlandslags sweater autographed by the entire team plus a trip with us to Rhodes allinklusive in August The bid end at 70,000 and Max Martin took it home! Totally sick. Not that I think he accompanies but haha! We must stress he to a song ist 😁. Cruel evening at Denniz Pop Awards"

so, Max Martin just won a Zlatan shirt, a sweater and a Rhodes-trip? hahaha :D
