The Reading & Leeds Section 2015 Annual Music Awards

[dentalplan]

This tradition nearly DIED because I was waiting for mrtourette to do it but that guy got a life or a promotion or something so I don't know where he's at.

Anyway - you may well know the drill by now but I'll explain nonetheless. List your top five for each category, no joint placings and 5 points go to the top one and 1 point for the fifth one, a little like Eurovision. I've tried to go back to basics with these categories as adding more only serves to mess things up.

The categories are as follows:

• Best Album
• Best Single (I want you to make sure it's a single, check Wikipedia or whatever)
• Best Video
• Best Album Art
• Best Live Act (include R+L as I know not everyone goes to beaucoup gigs and festies, however I'm not gonna count multiple performances by one band so specifying where you saw them is still optional but not necessary)
• Best R+L Performance (if you went only please; no TV viewers because that's hardly fair when only two stages are televised! No duplicates for this either if anyone did actually go to both festivals for a day each or see a band twice.)

Below is the template which you can use. Copy and paste rather than quote if possible, just to make things easier. Feel free to strike out/delete the ones that don't apply to you (for instance, a lot of us aren't actually gonna be voting in the R+L category) but you might as well try to fill in ones you can. Submissions until 1st January 2016, after which I will add things up and post the results. IMPORTANT NOTE: You can no longer edit after a few hours unless you are a GOLD member on eFests, so don't bother posting to fill in later or hold a place unless of course you are a GOLD member. I know that will delay things but just think it out as there's plenty of time. If you want to ask any more rules then hit me up. Okay now here's the template...

Modern Baseball were great weren't they. My favourite part was when they cancelled their R&L apperances the week before.

Ffs always get them mixed up with American Football, I will fix.

 

Edit: Or not, it's not letting me edit my post for some reason. American Football were 3rd best act of weekend, not Modern Baseball.
