Annual inductees into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame are selected by a prestigious Nominating Committee composed of nationally recognized authors, producers, historians and leaders in the music industry. The number of annual inductees, both performing and non-performing, may vary. Each year, the Committee’s deliberations consider musical performers, producers, engineers & studio or recording industry professionals, writers, promoters, and radio professionals. They consider the group or individual’s relationship with Memphis, Tennessee, including extent of recording projects, musical impact within Memphis, city residency, and exceptional involvement within and/or influences drawn from the Memphis music industry.
