The IBMA Hall Of Honor

<p> Each year a nominating committee from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) creates a slate of 10-15 candidates. From these names, electors
cast ballots to narrow the nominees to five finalists. There are over 200 electors who, themselves, must
have participated actively in bluegrass for at least 10 years, and must merit respect and recognition for
their accomplishments and/or knowledge in one or more aspects of the field.</p>
<p> After the five finalists have been selected, the electors again vote to select the inductee(s) for that
year. The name(s) of the newest Hall of Honor inductee(s)are made public immediately following the
final stage of balloting and the formal induction takes place each year during the International
Bluegrass Music Awards Show.</p>
