That’s too bad. I’ve got the 2018 album tournament covered starting in June, but if anyone wants to organize a song tournament, that could be interesting.

Allright gonna bump this again to hopefully bring some more awareness, have slightly pared down the nominations for a less daunting ballot. Will try to PM ballots out this week, but if I don't get more in soon might have to close this for lack of interest.

Also remember the more nods the more weight your choices get towards the nods, that's especially true in the best album/song category where a maxium of 50 is allowed but you all seem to be lazy and only doing 10. The more the merrier. Also remember to nominate for 2017 best album-song to salvage another abandoned BEAMAs

Now I know I've let you, my childs, down in the past but I'm fully commited to getting this year's BEAMAs up and running and done before the end of Summer '19 but probably not before the end of the govt shutdown, so will set prompt deadlines of when each phase is done and will contact soon my sexy slovenian fellow creeper pen pal and will hopefully get the actual awards voting done by march, cause I will be traversing the globe come early april and if these awards are not completed by then I will hand it off to one lucky soul. But anyways the first phase: NOMINATIONS! Each category is listed below and simply list your top choices for each category, with the minimum and maximum number of entries allowed in parentheses, more nominations=greater weight of your choices. You don't have to vote for every category, I would prefer as many ballots in as possible so if you only want to vote for a few that's okay too. And again if you want to make changes before the final due date that's fine as I'll only count your final nomination submission. As I have promised swift deadlines I will set the deadline for Feb 15... or by the end of that week :roll:. Anyways get to some final listening and then send in your wounderful, sexy choices and hopefully we can get this going pronto. Have fun, be safe and don't trust nice people on the internet.

Note: also going to make up for 2017 so list of best songs/albums from 2017 included at the end.

Another Note: Nominations accepted by PM or can just be posted here (for the latter user awards can be discarded or done seperately by PM if you're afraid of losing people's respect)
