Every year, OffBeat celebrates our music and musicians by presenting the Best of The Beat Music Awards.

Nominees for Best of The Beat Music Awards are selected by the editors, writers and experts at OffBeat. You-the public-have the opportunity to vote for your choice for the best music makers in New Orleans.
