Urapopstar Awards 19

Background

Pre-nominations were sent out to a panel of fifteen diverse Urapopstar artists on January 1 2011. The official nominations were revealed on January 9. It was announced on January 30 that the event would be hosted by Alesha and Putanovska, with Just Ginger serving as a "backstage" host. It marks the third time Alesha has hosted the event, following Urapopstar Awards 12 (hosted with Neyssa) and 17 (hosted with Shell Ruin). The ceremony was held exactly one week after the announcement, taking place on February 6. The awards were particularly notable for their timing in the music industry, being held shortly before Urapopstar's tenth anniversary.
