Note: to be fair, people on the awards committee are not allowed to nominate their own acts (only other committee members can nominate them) or vote in categories that their act may be nominated for. The People’s Choice Award election was at the Sept 23, 2017 show. To be considered for a nomination, the act must have performed at a Punk Rock Night Indy show between Sept 18, 2016 and Sept 16, 2017 Albums considered for best release must have been released between September 2016 and September 2017 (or within a month or two of that) and the band must have performed between the dates above. If you won, you have one year to claim your trophy – best way to get it is to attend the awards show or book another show with us and we will present it to you on stage. |
