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 September 17th show.

To be considered for a nomination, the act must have performed at a Punk Rock Night Indy show between Sept 12, 2015 and Sept 18, 2016

Albums considered for best release must have been released between September 2015 and September 2016 (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.
