2007 Singing News Fan Awards Ballot

It's already time to submit nominations for the Singing News Fan Awards. The list of categories is a LOT shorter this year. Although they took the axe to more award categories than I would have liked, I do hope this reduction in categories elevates the honor of winning in years to come.

One thing is for sure (barring a rash of "statistical ties"), every singer and their DJ sister will not be receiving a Fan Award this year.

The following are my favorites right now:
1. Group - Dove Brothers Quartet
2. Male Singer - Arthur Rice
3. Female Singer - Lauren Talley
4. Horizon Group - Skyline Boys
5. Horizon Individual - Bryan Elliott
6. Musician - Jeff Stice
7. Young Artist - Scott Inman
8. Songwriter - Kyla Rowland
9. Song - "Sky Full Of Angels"
10. Album - Everyday by Mark Bishop

If you're a Singing News subscriber, be sure to get your ballots in the mail right away. The deadline is March 12. That's the date the Singing News must receive your ballot. They don't go by your postmark.

Speaking of the ballot due date, one rule I don't like this year is the eligibility period for Song and Album. I'm glad the year of eligibility is specifically spelled out, but using April 2006-March 2007 AND requiring ballots to be in by March 12th is unfair to artists with projects releasing in March. You can't vote for Mark Trammell's new CD, for example, unless you run out and buy it on March 6, listen to it to see if it's really the best, then cross your fingers hoping your ballot gets to the Singing News office by March 12. If any projects are releasing later in March, it's impossible to vote for them unless you lie...saying it's your favorite when you haven't even heard it. The eligibility period ought to be March 2006-February 2007.
