2022 MAMA Awards: How to vote?

Since last year, MAMA has disabled the option to vote for each category, instead, voting is only conducted for the Worldwide Fans' Choice category.

Judging Criteria

• Votes on Mnet Plus: 50%

From Korean Sales we recommend you focus on website votes and Spotify streams.

Voting Guide See details: PRE VOTE & VOTE

Mnet Plus Voting

• Log-in to Mnet Plus to vote

• Each voting session for the Worldwide Fans' Choice category PRE VOTE conducted on the Mnet Plus allows for selection of a minimum of 1 team and a maximum of 5 teams. (You may not vote for 1 artist multiple times). In the final round with the remaining 20 artists, you will only have 1 vote per day with your account.

• Select the artist of your choice from the voting page then click the Final Confirmation button and the vote is complete only if the Voting Complete message pops up.
• Votes cast using an irregular method or approach will not be recognized as a valid vote.

Voting on Spotify

• Log-in to Spotify to vote
• Streaming for more than 30 seconds the song of the artist you wish to select from the "2022 MAMA AWARDS - Worldwide Fans' Choice Category Playlist" will automatically count as one vote.

• Within one day (Korea Standard Time), the first five songs streamed by a Spotify account will receive the vote, and you may cast your five votes for the same artist. (5 streams = 5 votes) In the final round with the remaining 20 artists, you will only have 1 stream/vote per day with your account.
• Votes cast using an irregular method or approach will not be recognized as a valid vote.

Voting on Twitter

• Within one day (Korea Standard Time), 1 Twitter account can cast one vote.
• Only tweets that contain both the 2022 MAMA AWARDS official hashtag (#MAMAVOTE) and the official voting hashtag for each artist will be considered valid votes. (#MAMAVOTE #hashtag by artist)

• It doesn't matter how you tweet, even if you only put the hashtags in the tweet, what matters is that both hashtags are there. The artist hashtag will be valid without distinction of upper or lower case letters.

• You may vote with your Twitter account and your account has to be set to "public" for your vote to be recognized.

• Retweeting a valid tweet from a different user's account will also be recognized. You can retweet different valid tweets from the accounts you want throughout the day, all will count as more votes.
• A tweet containing hashtags of multiple artists will not be valid.

• A tweet violating Twitter rules and policies will not be recognized.

• Once you have complied with voting rules and successfully included all required hashtags, you may then include images, video clips, emojis, gifs, and/or other media and still have your tweet be a valid vote.

If there are any changes or misunderstandings with the ways of voting, we will change it and notify you of the change. Since we are not related to the MAMA Awards, we cannot know 100% if this is the method of voting, we only interpret the criteria and guidelines that MAMA makes public as accurately as possible.
