Hometown Heroes Homey Awards

Hometown Heroes is proud to present the annual Homey Awards. The Homey Awards celebrate outstanding achievements in local, original music from the past year (in this case, 2025). This year's ceremony and concert will be held Sunday, April 26 at the Queen in Wilmington.

But before we get to the ceremony, we need to determine this year's nominees; and that's up to YOU. The top 5 by vote in each category will be this year's nominees.

Voting is open through Monday, March 16.

You do not have to vote in every category, but you may only vote once in each category. Duplicate votes will be deleted. So please, one ballot per person. And please no stuffing the ballot box. Fraudulent votes will be deleted too.

If you're a local musician who released music in 2025 and you're not on the ballot, or if there are any changes, additions or errors (including typos), email Mark at hthmrogers@gmail.com so things can be amended.

Thanks for participating in the Homey Awards. And thanks as always for supporting local, original music.
