Award nomination for Radio 1

These days, there are so many places you can find music online, which makes it all the more exciting when someone recognises you're doing a good job and cutting through in such a crowded market place.

So, I'm thrilled that BBC Radio 1's website has been recognised this week with a nomination in the BT Digital Music Awards category for Best Place to Discover Music. The award ceremony takes place at the end of September, but before that can happen, the award needs to be voted for.

Our fellow nominees in this category are Last.FM, Mixcloud, Resident Advisor, SB TV, and Shazam, and the winner will be chosen via a public vote. If you'd like to vote, you need to register on the awards website.

Radio 1 is also being recognised in the judged category of Best App for its mobile website, and the BBC iPlayer has been nominated in the Best Place to Hear Music category.
