MANILA — Moira dela Torre, Zack Tabudlo, SB19, Ben&Ben, and Flow G are among the top nominees in the 8th edition of the Wish Music Awards (WMA), to be held in January.

The radio and music platform detailed the nominations Wednesday, with a total of 53 music acts competing in 19 categories. As in past editions, winners will be awarded a cash prize for their chosen charity, aside from the WMA trophy.

Fans can vote for their favorite artists via the WMA site of Wish 107.5 app starting November 28 until January 6. The votes will comprise 30% of the nominees’ score, while the remaining 70% will come from the panel of judges.

The act with the most number of votes will be given the Wisher’s Choice Award.

Aside from the regular categories, the “Wishclusive Elite Circle” award will be handed to acts whose Wish Bus performances have crossed 10 million views on YouTube.

The WMA is also set to bestow the KDR Icon of Musical Excellence and KDR Icon of Music and Philanthrophy awards — distinctions for “musical icons who have made a mark in the industry and to individuals who strive to make use of their musical gifts for noble deeds, respectively.”

The 8th WMA ceremony is scheduled on January 22 at the Araneta Coliseum.
