This new award was designed for any up-and-coming artist or band who were unsigned. The award itself is differentiated from the Hope of 2010 award in that the Hope award is given to an artist or band already signed to a mainstream or independent record label. An artist or band who would like to be part of the Most Promising New Artist of 2010 nominations had to submit relevant particulars before January 11, 2010. The winner of the award is expected to perform at the event, appear at Oxegen 2010 and have 150 copies of their debut single released, including artwork."themeteors.ie/terms/"June 2017 InternetArchiveBot yes Nominations announced on February 5, 2010:http://www.hotpress.com/Meteor%20Awards/news/Meteor-Most-Promising-New-Artist-of-the-Year-nominees-announced/6190244.html Meteor Most Promising New Artist of the Year nominees announced 2010-02-05 2010-02-05 Hot Press https://web.archive.org/web/20100209034311/http://www.hotpress.com/Meteor%20Awards/news/Meteor-Most-Promising-New-Artist-of-the-Year-nominees-announced/6190244.html 9 February 2010 live Amasis Ever27 Jody Has A Hitlist Colm Lynch Susie Soho Three Plus Me Sean Dempsey Multiple nominations Bell X1, Christy Moore, Florence and the Machine (from the UK), Snow Patrol and U2 received three nominations each. 3 nominations Bell X1 Christy Moore Florence and the Machine Snow Patrol U2 2 nominations Bruce Springsteen The Coronas Delorentos Kasabian Lady Gaga Laura Izibor Paolo Nutini References External links Official site MCD Promotions List of winners through the years https://web.archive.org/web/20071024180100/http://www.meteor.ie/misc/MIMA.html 2007-10-24 2010 photos at Hot Press "Meteor Awards – No Fun(derland)": Review by Sophie Elizabeth Smith Category:Meteor Music Awards Meteor Awards Meteor Awards
