Criticism

At the beginning of 2013, in his column over at Charter 97, Źmicier Padbiarezski of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty lamented that the organizers of the award in their nominations “do not notice” quite popular but partially censored artists in the country: Siarhei Mikhalok, Lavon Volski, Alexander Kullinkovich.[49] At the request of BelaPAN, he also revealed the vicious practice of the massive use of playbacks at concerts, while the agency's journalists themselves found the evidences of plagiarism in some songs of the performers.[50]

In 2014, Alexandr Chernuho, editor of Ultra-music.com, following the coverage of three ceremonies, sharply negatively assessed the implementation of the awarding of music awards, “Year after year we have been watching colossal flaws, mistakes, and profanations: Larisa Gribaleva, who sits in the jury, receives the award for the best song of the year, Irina Dorofeeva is confused with Iskui Abalyan, Valeriy Dayneko’s playback cuts short, and it turns out that he does not know the lyrics of the song.” [51]

In a number of op-eds over at naviny.by, singer Irina Vidova, winner of the People’s Choice Award in 2011, agreed with criticism of the implementation of the award from a number of journalists, citing her examples of the organizers' negligence too, and emphasized the need for greater transparency in voting, pluralism in the process of nominating contestants and the forming of the composition of the jury, constancy in the rules of the competition, attracting specialists from alternative TV channels and the media to its organization, nevertheless concluding the significance and importance of the project on a national scale as a whole.[52][53][35]

In 2013, Źmicier Biezkaravajny, founder of the music portal Experty.by, noted that the award is “a big project that is shown on television” and “for winning in which people get money,” while the critic questioned the quality of the composition of the jury on the example of the analysis of the II ceremony[54] what, coupled with other shortcomings, casts doubt on its national status.[55]

He also, at the request of Taras Tarralitsky of Belorusy i rynok, confirmed the opinion of the interviewer that economic problems had reached the national stage with the cancellation of the “directive and artificial” ceremony in 2015, “If there is an order, some designated channel conducts it. If there is no order, no one does. This is an indicator of the level of professional relationships within the pop community of Belarus, its spoiledness by state attention. Neither the professional community, as in many countries, nor an initiative group stand behind the award. The Ministry of Culture should not get involved in such projects.”[56]

In a review of all music awards of Belarus for 2013, Pavel Sverdlov, editor of KYKY.ORG, described the second ceremony as an act that “resembled the distribution of the USSR State Prizes but “with the difference that, no-no, representatives of the alternative scene slipped in among laureates though.”[55]
