Vote for the Roxette musical at the 2024 BroadwayWorld Sweden Awards!

by

Hello, you fools! You surely remember you could nominate Joyride – The Musical for the 2024 BroadwayWorld Sweden Awards until 31st October. Voting was said to start early November, but nothing really happened, so I decided to contact BroadwayWorld a couple of days ago and asked about it. Now they could manage to put together the lists of nominees in all categories and the voting for the 2024 BroadwayWorld Sweden Awards is now open until 31st December!

The 2024 Regional Awards honor regional productions, touring shows and more which had their first performance between 1st October 2023 through 30th September 2024. Local editors set the categories, readers submitted their nominees and now you get to vote for your favourites! Don’t miss out on making sure that your favourite theatres, stars and shows get the recognition they deserve!

Winners will be announced in January 2025! During the entire voting period you can check the current standings, but read the terms and conditions carefully and vote only once.

You can vote HERE!

Categories in which Joyride – The Musical is nominated:

  • Best Musical – Joyride – The Musical at Malmö Opera
  • Best Ensemble – Joyride – The Musical at Malmö Opera
  • Best Performer In A Musical: this one is cruel, because 4 actors from Joyride are nominated in this same category: Jessica Marberger, Marsha Songcome, Alexander Lycke, Tilda Hallström
  • Best Supporting Performer In A Musical: another tough category, because 4 actors from Joyride are nominated in this same category: Sanna Martin, Patrik Martinsson, Oscar Pierrou Lindén, Sara Lehmann
  • Best Direction Of A Musical – Guy Unsworth
  • Best Scenic Design Of A Play Or Musical – David Woodhead
  • Best Lighting Design Of A Play Or Musical – Ulrik Gad

Cast your vote by simply checking one nominee in each of the award categories. If you have no choice in any particular category, simply choose ‘No Nominee’.

Cast your vote only once. After submitting your vote, you will receive an electronic confirmation via e-mail. If you submit your e-mail address incorrectly, your vote will be disqualified.

All voting results will be tabulated and will be audited at the conclusion of the voting process to remove fake, duplicate and other invalid votes. The results you see here may alter slightly or significantly as a result of that auditing process. No automatic, programmed, robotic or similar means of voting are permitted. Participants who do not comply with these Terms and Conditions, or who attempt to interfere with the voting process or the operation of the Site in any way will be disqualified and their votes will not be counted.

Good luck, Joyrider nominees!

Per Gessle nominated as Hallandian of The Year!

by

It’s the first time that Halland Marketing Association (Marknadsförening i Halland, MiH) in cooperation with Hallandsposten and Hallands Nyheter will award a prize to Hallandian of The Year. To receive the prize, the recipient must have done good publicity for Halland county and worked publicly for the county’s best.

There are 6 nominees who were chosen from a list of 40 suggested by Hallandsposten readers earlier this autumn. It was difficult to pick these 6 people. They all did great PR for Halland over the years in their own way.

Nominees

  1. Janne Andersson – coach of the Swedish national soccer team
  2. Linnea Henriksson – singer, songwriter
  3. Boris Lennerhov – CEO of Scandinavia’s largest department store Gekås Ullared
  4. Kålle Gunnarsson – producer, director (theatre)
  5. Per Gessle – one of Sweden’s most successful artists and songwriters, musical genius, world artist
  6. Lisa Lemke – freelance food creator, food stylist, pizzeria owner, television chef

The jury’s motivation for nominating Per: “One of Sweden’s most successful artists and songwriters. A world artist and musical genius who has gilded many people’s lives with Roxette, as a solo artist and as a front figure in Gyllene Tider for 40 years. This summer’s successful farewell tour GT40 attracted a record number of visitors. Per has received several prestigious awards such as Grammys, Rock Bears and the King’s Medal. Per is one of three Swedish artists who topped the Billboard charts, the most powerful in the music world. In addition, he writes songs for a wide range of other artists, owns Hotel Tylösand and produces his own wines and champagne with a local touch.”

To vote, you have to send an SMS with this text: “HP ÅH Per” to the number 72010 in Sweden. You can vote until 29th November and the gala where the winner will be announced is held on 19th December in Halmstad Arena. Hallandian of The Year will be awarded a unique painting by Halland artist Dagmar Glemme and his / her photo will be installed at Halmstad Airport. The idea is to place all future winners’ photos there too.

Good luck, Mr. G!

It’s been a while since the last time we could vote, but now it’s time again. Since 2011, GAFFA has, with the help of readers, distributed prizes to the year’s most important artists. You can for a list of artists from 11th December to 14th January. The prizes are distributed on 10th February 2018.

The most important categories for all Gessleists are ”” ( = Solo Artist of the Year) and ”” ( = Live Act of the Year). Make sure you tick in the option ”” in both of these sections. 😉 Then keep your fingers crossed until the voting ends that it’s Mr. G who will be the winner in both categories!

Ready, steady, !

Vote for Per Gessle on Rockbjörnen!

by

Nomination period started for this year’s Rockbjörnen (music prize awarded by Aftonbladet annually). They have Per Gessle in the drop down menu for the best male live artist. And we of course have a new Per Gessle album, so it’s easy to choose the Swedish song of the year, too. Please, fill in at least the live male artist of the year, fans of the year and Swedish song of the year boxes at the voting link. You can surely fill in other boxes, too. As per this year’s breakthrough artist (Årets genombrott) you can always check out the artists signed at Per’s record label, Space Station 12 and vote for them.

Vote HERE each day until 9th July!

If you can’t speak Swedish, we help you which boxes to fill in and how you can proceed with your voting:

  • Årets manliga liveartist = Male live artist of the year: Per Gessle
  • Årets svenska låt = Swedish song of the year: Småstadsprat – Per Gessle & Lars Winnerbäck (this song has probably the highest chance to win, since it’s the first single and it’s played on Swedish radio heavily, but of course, you can choose any other song off ”En vacker natt”)
  • Årets bästa fans = Fans of the year: Per Gessle fans
  • Årets genombrott = Breakthrough artist of the year: Good Harvest or Fanny de Aguiar or Alex Shield or Charla K

After filling it in, click on ”Nästa” (= ”Next”) and fill in your name (first name & surname), e-mail address, mobile number, year of birth (födelseår) and whether you are female (kvinna) or male (man) or other (annat), then reply to the control question (e.g. 2 + 2 = 4). If you want to receive info and offers from Aftonbladet, leave the tick in. ”Tillbaka” means ”Back”, ”Rösta” means ”Vote”. It’s simple as that.
