Sounds like fun!

[lawmak]

I'm here for this...


Who will perform?

[supaspaz]

Already got the first ballot!

Just to clarify: You can send up to five submissions for each of the general field categories, up to three for the genre categories and one for lifetime achievement.

Since this first stage of balloting only determines the longlists (probably about 15-25 pre-nominees, depending on the category), you might also consider voting strategically for your favorites that will need more help to qualify, rather than the popular choices that already have broad support.

Feel free to use this thread to campaign for songs, albums and artists that you want to make sure voters remember. For Your Consideration ads are totally encouraged!

To be determined. It will probably depend on who the big nominees are and who has a project to promote. But I'm open to suggestions!

Can you submit songs that were released as a single after October 1 but were part of an album before? JGMAR for example.

Sorry, I should have clarified that in the original post! Once the nominees are the announced, everyone will be able to vote for the winners (though I may limit how many categories you can vote for, similar to the Grammys).

I will be participating.


Time to get my submissions together.

Britney should perform Perfume.

Absolutely! If it had a separate single release, then it is eligible in its own right. Album tracks can also be nominated for song awards, as long as they were own albums released in the qualifying period.
