Ok...I may regret this but I'll volunteer to organise this. Similar format to past years with certain categories (see below) listed, you have say two weeks to put forward your nominations, then a further two weeks to put in your final votes on the nominees (at most 5 per category).
All votes will be submitted by note to me, and as the organiser I will withdraw my own music from the competition in order to avoid a conflict of interests.

I propose the following categories - suggestions are welcome to improve it. I will announce when the nomination period begins - this is just testing the water to see who is up for it.

Categories :

Best Folk Song
Best Hip Hop Song
Best Jazz Song
Best Rock/Metal song
Best Pop Song
Best Country Song
Best R&B/Soul Song
Best Classical Song
Best Americana Song
Best Bluegrass Song
Best Instrumental Song
Best Reggae Song
Best Blues Song
Best Electronic
Best "Other" Song
Best Collaboration
Best Male Artist
Best Female Artist

Folks, the actual forum for this is at:

My girlfriend just now pointed out to me that it is not immediately obvious that what "leflaw posted" isn't the ACTUAL forum/page/place viewers are supposed to be.

(Note to ALL DMusic article-writers... NEVER FORGET that this is just DMusic's [front page] ...MAKE IT CLEAR if your "comment/response" thread is actually at another url.

New visitors often won't have a clue about "what" "where" "why"

PLEASE remember to write your articles in a NEWBEE FRIENDLY FASION when you expect 'em to appear on the front page of DMusic. (Hell, leflaw'd approve just about ANYTHING for the front page if HE himself can read and sorta understand it.)



-------------

Folks, the impetus is upon YOU! Write your words for the NEW visitors TOO! (If you want 'em to stick around for ya!)

Fu*k all the "2.0" bullsh*t hype!
DMusic is a PARTICIPATORY site!

(Yes, there IS a difference!)

Hey DMusic Lets Dance!

Strange, it seemed immediately obvious to me, that's what links are for... So it's not a blonde thing.
