Now in their fourth year, the Songlines Music Awards endeavour to celebrate and acknowledge the myriad of musical talent across the world that has been featured in Songlines magazine. Voting for the 2012 Awards is now open in four categories: Best Artist, Best Group, Cross-Cultural Collaboration and Newcomer.
Eligible artists are those who had albums reviewed in Songlines during 2011 (from issues #74 - #81 inclusive). The top four in each category from the public vote gives us the final nominations, which will be published in Songlines #83 (April/May 2012). The Songlines editorial team will then select the winners which will be announced in Songlines #84 (June 2012).
A compilation album featuring all 16 nominated artists, will be released on Monday March 19, 2012.
All voters will be automatically entered into a prize draw to win one of three pairs of tickets to WOMAD Charlton Park (July 26-29 2012), plus we have 10 runner’s up prizes of the Songlines Music Awards 2011 CD featuring all of last year's winners and nominees.
The deadline for voting is midnight (GMT) on Tuesday, January 31, 2012.
Visit the Songlines website to vote.
