The awards are given to Hawaii's musicians as voted by members of the Hawaii Academy of Recording Arts (HARA), a non-profit organization formed in 1982 to stimulate interest in the local recording industry and the music of Hawaii.

This year, academy members are also casting votes in two new categories, Music Video DVD of the Year and R&B/Hip Hop Album of the Year. A panel of Hawaiian music and language specialists selected the final nominees and winners of the Haku Mele and Hawaiian Language Performance Awards. The Favorite Entertainer of the Year is determined by public voting.
