And don't worry, the album I announce as album of the year WILL BE the actual voted album of the year



Also nice to see the interesting mix of contenders for best album, at the risk of influencing future voters nice to see albums like Hella Personal Film Festival, The Impossible Kid, Still Brazy and my beloved Puberty 2 ( pipe dream I know) have a legitimate shot at being nominated, among many others. But vote your conscious people and Make BEAMAs Great Again.

Oh yeah sorry you can nominate up to three users for the Lifetime achievement award, and remember it is users who joined by January 2012, a five-year period on BEA since the voting began (I did see some votes for users who joined after that date, although they won't be counted they are likely eligibile for next year so just gotta play the waiting game)


Almost finished finally tallying up what we have so far for best song and best album, which is the exhausting part, will get to the other categories soon. Again shaking up to be a possibly interesting race for album and song, so just again make sure to get your votes in and Im here if you have any questions.
