Last year, Chelsey Green—-aka “The Green Violinist”—-won the best alternative artist award and TCB was named best go-go group. Whitefolkz netted the best male rapper award, and his brash F*ck Your Mixtape was named the year’s best mixtape.
This year, you can submit your nominations online and via text message; there’s also a “power ballot” for local music journalists and industry types. The top seven nominees from each category will then be sent to a panel of 15 judges, who will determine the winners.
Here’s the online ballot. To vote via text, type “DMV” and insert a space. Then, type the corresponding number code and the artist or group you’re voting for to 313131.
The nomination deadline is Feb. 14. The show is scheduled for March 5 at the Hyatt Hotel at Crystal City, 2799 Jefferson Davis Hwy in Arlington.
