About The MAMA Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony

We will be inducting thirteen members into our Hall of Fame. In order to be eligible, an artist, tech person, group, or business must win their MAMA Awards category five times. After that they are not eligible in that category but remain eligible in other categories. The event will run as follows:

  • 4-5PM: Social Hour with free pizza and a free barrel of Spotted Cow until it’s gone. Did we mention cake?
  • 5-6PM: The induction ceremony
  • 6-7PM: Celebration with Loving Cup (Rolling Stones Tribute) providing the music.
