After over 3.1 million votes, the highest number of votes in Woodies history, KUPS from the University of Puget Sound captured the 2009 "Radio Woodie." On Friday, November 13, music personality Matt Pin[head] of 101.9 WRXP New York surprised the Tacoma, WA station by announcing that the crew earned a highly coveted chunk of wood honoring their commitment to championing artists before they achieve mainstream success.
The "Woodie" awards are a show by college students, for college students. For the first-time ever, mtvU put the "Woodies" graphics in the hands of its audience. Students created original works of art that will be featured throughout the show, acting as a canvas to announce the nominees for each category. Student artists making their "Woodies" debut this year include Janice Chae of Maryland Institute College of Art (Designed the "Woodie" of the Year Graphic), Liz Moser of Pratt (Designed Best Music On Campus Graphic), Michael Kennedy of Pratt (Designed "Good Woodie" Graphic), Kyle Hebert of Massachusetts College of Art & Design (Designed "Radio Woodie" Graphic), Kathleen Madamba of Drexel University (Designed the "Performing Woodie" Graphic), Julie Friedenberg of Pratt Institute (Designed the "Left Field Woodie" Graphic), Lisa Champ of Pratt Institute (Designed the "Best Video Woodie" Graphic) and Tommaso Dell'Anna of Pratt Institute (Designed the "Breaking Woodie" Graphic).
This year's performers will join an already incredible list of performers who have graced the Woodies stage in years past including Beck, Vampire Weekend, Santigold, Gym Class Heroes, Lykke Li, All Time Low and Imogen Heap. College students established the "mtvU Woodie Awards" in 2004, propelling some of their favorite acts to the next level of their careers � including surging record sales, headlining tours and accolades at other award shows such as the MTV Video Music Awards. Since the first "mtvU Woodie Awards," artists such as Fall Out Boy (Streaming Woodie '04), the Killers (Breaking Woodie '04), Death Cab for Cutie (Best Video Woodie '05), Plain White Ts (Breaking Woodie '06), Gym Class Heroes (Woodie of the Year '07) and Paramore (Woodie of the Year '08), have enjoyed mainstream success after winning big at the Woodies.
