The ACM Awards are coming up May 16th in Frisco, Texas, and WQMX has paired with National Design Mart to send a lucky listener plus one to the show! It's an ACM Flyaway all through this week on Your Country 94.9 WQMX; for complete information on this contest, click here. 

With that, the Academy of Country Music just announced the list of this year's nominees. For what's probably the first time since Bell Bottom Country's release, Lainey Wilson isn't the leading female.   Instead, huge props go out to Megan Moroney, who is in the running for awards in six categories! These include Female Artist and New Female Artist of the year. 

Luke Combs leads overall with a total of eight nominations in major categories such as best Entertainer, Male Artist, Album, and Single. Morgan Wallen should also be pleased with six nominations coming his way, tying Megan Moroney for second-most. Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, and Chris Stapleton are next with five nominations apiece. 

Cheers and congratulations!

Now, these nominations are cool and all, but we'll have to wait until the May 16th show to know who's taking home the big W's. You can stream it live with Amazon Prime Video. It should be a cool ceremony, and WQMX is thrilled to send somebody there to see it live in person... maybe it will be you!
