AJL is actually an award show specially made to appreciate the local composers, not the singers. Every year, a few best songs of the year will be short listed and be selected. Thus, the original singers of those songs need to sing on the day of the award show which indirectly serves the purpose of competing between each other to win 2 awards(number 4 & 5 below, since number 1-3 has already been decided by judges the day before) available: 1) 1st place(Champion) 2) 2nd place 3) 3rd place 4) Best vocal award 5) Best performance award
