Par for the course, the show will feature award presentations in multiple categories, live performances, surprise guests and collaborations. It will also double as a fundraising effort to help aid in the rebuilding of L.A. following the wildfires that destroyed significant parts of the city. Funds will be directed to
FireAid and distributed by the
Annenberg Foundation.
"Our iHeartRadio Music Awards show is not a competition, it’s a night where we honor the incredible artists and songs that fans loved all year long—and this year’s show will shine a light on the devastating tragedy that impacted Los Angeles and enable us to deliver on our commitment to the communities we serve,”
John Sykes, president of
Entertainment Enterprises, and
Tom Poleman, CPO of iHeartMedia, said in a joint statement. “Our long-standing partnership with FOX will not only bring this celebration into millions of television homes, it will also bring important awareness of how to help those in need.”
iHeartRadio listeners will once again have the opportunity to decide winners in several new and established categories, including Favorite Soundtrack, Broadway Debut and K-pop Dance Challenge. Social voting is
currently open and will close on 3/10 for all categories.
Rumors we've been nominated for Worst Trade Publication of the Year couldn't be confirmed at this time.
