The Nomination Process

We received over 1,200 entries for the NAACP Image Awards. Potential nominees are submitted to our submissions committee by the artist, manager, publicist, production company, record label, studio, network or publisher to be selected as a final nominee for the NAACP Image Awards. From those entries, a special committee of 300 industry professionals and NAACP leaders from across the country selected five nominees in each of the 53 categories.
