Producer of the Year

Who is eligible?
This category is open to any UK or UK-based producer who has worked on music projects during 2008 (for the purposes of voting, the focus will be on work which was released or rose to prominence in 2008)

Who will win?
The winner will be selected by an elite panel of A&R executives, studio professionals and managers.  Producers will be evaluated on the following criteria:

• Quality of production (eg in terms of technical expertise, audio quality etc)
• Innovation and creativity in production
• Personal contribution to specific recordings
• Success at delivering projects with maximum appeal for target audience

Although commercial success may be relevant, the judges are looking primarily for producers whose work made a key creative contribution to the overall outcome of a particular project regardless of their sales.
