Ouyang is to receive her award at the Golden Melody Awards ceremony on July 1, while a representative or family member of Eric Lin would collect his award.
Head judge Chen Chien-chi （陳建騏） said that the nominations were made following a 13-hour discussion on Monday with a group of international musicians from Chinese-speaking communities.

The jury received 24,604 submissions — the most in the history of the awards — from 314 entities spanning 1,667 albums, Shih said.
