This year’s MAMA Awards will be held at Tokyo Dome, Japan on November 28 and 29. The biggest KPop awards show will also air live on various global platforms, including CJ ENM’s music channel Mnet.

There will be 20 award categories with the typical five or six nominees for 16 of the categories. The four main categories, which include artist of the year, song of the year, album of the year, and worldwide fans' choice, will have more entries.

MAMA also posted a guide for pre-voting and final voting for the nominees on their social media accounts.

As per Soompi, the pre-voting for the nominees of Worldwide Fans' Choice will be conducted until October 30th, 11:59 p.m. (Korea Standard Time). The 20 artists who receive the maximum votes in the pre-voting round will be considered for the final round of voting, which will take place from November 6th, 6 p.m. KST to November 20th, 11:59 p.m. KST.
