• Again this year, the Academy of Popular Music linked its name with the brand Paegas Twist
• The winners in individual categories will be ceremonially announced in Pragueâ??s Veletržní palác on March 17

The ceremonial presentation of Academy of Popular Music Awards that RadioMobil with its brand Paegas Twist brings to the lovers of this music field for the second time is coming to its climax. At this moment the nominations for major as well as field awards that have been selected by a jury consisting of the members of the Academy of Popular Music are known. The winners in individual major categories will be ceremonially announced on March 17 in the Veletržní palác and thanks to the live broadcast also the Czech Televisions first programme viewers can be present at the ceremony. The winners in field categories will be announced in the Czech Televisions second programmes show Noc s AndÄ?lem after the end of the live broadcast from the Veletržní palác.

"Our company offers services that have become a young peoples phenomenon in the same way as popular music," explains the spokeswoman of RadioMobil Tereza Kakosová. "Therefore we are pleased that we can again mediate popular music lovers experiences from the traditional prestigious event of the world of music."

The connection of RadioMobil with a renowned competition in the field of popular music makes sense also for other reasons. The young dynamic brand Paegas Twist that has received a number of awards in the course of its existence in the Czech market has been a partner of a number of contemporary music bands. "Young people today live by music as well as new state-of-the-art technologies," says Tereza Kakosová.

In connection with the presentation of Academy of Popular Music Awards RadioMobil has also prepared special www pages for Internet users. On www.odvazse.cz interested people will find the latest information on the awarding process, on-line interviews with the nominated personalities and, of course, a tipping contest.
