Nominations Now Open for Chip Hooper Award at the Billboard Live Music Summit

Nominations are open for the Chip Hooper Award at the Billboard Live Music Summit. The winner will be honored at the Billboard Live Music Awards.

Now in its third year, the award is presented to a young rising star who works as an executive in artist representation, management or concert promotion. In 2018, the inaugural award was given to Kelly Stebalsky of Live Nation, who first met Hooper after meeting him at an industry conference; she later left her job at William Morris in New York to come work with him in representing acts like Phish and Dave Matthews Band. To nominate someone, you can email their name, title and company, along with a brief description about why they deserve the honor and a list of a few of their accomplishments in the last 18 months, to dave.brooks@billboard.com.
