Zac Hanson working on the lip sync video “This Muppet’s Got Soul” inspired by HANSON’s new project, the MOEY Awards

This week all the entries for the MOEY Awards have kept us smiling.  There is still a lot of time left before the submission period ends on April 12th, but only one week in it is already cool watching the h.net community get involved.  If you are still on the fence about submitting in one of the MOEY categories, or if you need to get inspired, make sure to check out the example video Zac made for the solo lip sync category called “This Muppets Got Soul”.  In addition to putting up all the details for the MOEY Awards last week, we also announced Back To The Island 2016.  Next year we will be heading back to Jamaica and will be going to a brand new resort.  BTTI 2016 is not even on-sale until next week but it is already shaping up to be the best year yet.  When we are closer to the event we will announce details like the musical guests and where to cast your vote for the set list voting, but until then make your plans for a little time off for some fun in the sun come January 2016.  Around this time of year the one constant is HANSON Day.  With all the different events it seems like the to do list gets longer every year, preparing for the lectures, designing street signs, working on everything from the 2015 Members EP to the design of the bowling ball that will be raffled at the I Heart 2 Bowl Tournament.  HANSON Day is like planning a party, there is a lot to do, but you get to party when you are finished.  Everything is almost ready for the guests to arrive.

If you are a Hanson.net member make sure to vote on Question #2 for the Drop Your Digital Pants lecture. New questions will go up every Friday until April 17^th.

If you are attending the lectures at HANSON Day 2015 make sure to submit your Song Story for a chance to join Taylor on stage during his lecture.

Isaac, Taylor and Zac

This year as part of HANSON Day 2015, HANSON will be starting a new tradition called The MOEYs.

A MOEY award is given to an extraordinary HANSON fan.  Awards will be given for a variety of achievements, from being an outstanding Fan Club member to most entertaining performances in a lip sync video.  We’ve already received some great entries in all categories, but there’s still time for every member to enter.
