The Reading & Leeds Section 2014 Annual Music Awards

[justanothername]

Since no one has started this yet I have taken it upon myself to do it (and all of the counting up at the end) since I'm the most qualified in handing out awards

Well anyway give the top five for the following categories

• Albums
• Singles
• R&L performances (you can mention the site if you want to but it will make no difference when counting up results)
• Live performances (festivals and gigs, can include acts from the previous category. Also you can only nominate an act ONCE despite no matter how times you've seen them this year. It will lead to the best live act award)
• Album covers
• Music videos
• R&L eFest moment of the year (new category for 2014, you can only nominate ONE moment and it had to be in 2014 so that means nothing that happened on the blink day)

It is your choice about which categories you vote in, so if you don't go to R&L or don't watch music videos you don't have to vote in those respective categories

The way the scoring will work it will be 5 for 1st place, 4 for 2nd place etc...

No joint places at all, if that does happen I'll just give the points to the first act listed and ONLY FIVE nominations (except for R&L eFest moment). If you want to discuss other nominees just make a separate post about how you wish you could include them, not in the main post (it'll just confuse me)

You can change as much as you want, but the cut off will be the 1st of January. If for some reason you change your mind after then you can do so but you have to consider that I may have already counted your results

Finally if you want to include other categories (e.g. EP, music venue, newcomer etc...) you can do so but I unless there is a lot of entries for that category I'll ignore it.

Here is a template for you to use

and Ben and James

was Smooth Sailing a 2014 single? Wikipedia seems to suggest so but I can't be sure

[dentalplan]

Shouldn't it be live act rather than live performances?

Awww...I'm so jealous. At least I have given them an award so I can show off to my friends

I'm just going to go with yes as Wiki says so

So to conclude they can win 4 categories

That is what it is in the 2013 section so I just copied and pasted the categories but I'm going to keep it as performance though (it also means that you can nominate the same act more than once)

I think it should be live performances if it includes the date/venue.

But when you're counting the scores up you then have to count each performance individually so it's probably gonna be Reading performances as that's the specific gig that most people went to here. It's just an odd thing to have to specify which gig.

There's already a R&L live section but yeah counting seperate gigs is silly but I think's it's fair to see which gig it is as they can change from show to show.

I'll give to one artist don't worry (unless it was at a festival like QOTSA for example). But acts can change from show to show. So basically you'll put in your best performances to give a best act award

Yeah but if you do that, you understand why that's a problem don't you? If someone just follows a band around on tour and gives them 15 points then it's not a level playing field. I'm not really as bothered as these posts might seem but I just thought it was an obvious flaw.

Should limit it to one show per artist and then it'll work fine.

We'll do this actually as at the moment Biffy are in the lead for best live and the only person to nominate them is Com

Also Com, on that note one of your Biffy shows has to go. Sorry

EDIT: Rules have changed slightly now to accommodate this
