WOM AWARDS, ROUND 2! (Shortlist on Page 16. Deadline February 14 @ 5:30 pm CST (GMT -6))

Violet · 08-08-2010, 09:58 PM

As many of you who hang around the forum a lot (particularly The Lounge) know, the 2010 Forum Awards are in their preliminary stages of ideas and whatnot. There has been talk about a separate awards ceremony for the World of Music. This idea has been rather well-received, and people have been throwing around for ideas for the WoM Awards as well. With the help of Tammi (Crests of Daylight) and Bea (Darlene_Ifnhsa), I will organize this WoM Award thing and finally make it happen. I think it's a good idea.

Anyway, these will take place after the usual awards, probably in December, around the time when people are also thinking of their 2010 Albums of the Year or whatever. Given that, there's still plenty of time for putting everything together. However, after talking with one of our fave mods (thanks, Dave, for letting me do this), I realize that it's never too early to set things up.

As this is the WoM Awards, this is for all of you who reside in here. It's for you guys who make mixtapes for the exchanges, who critique the albums that have just come out, who just love music. I want to know what you guys think and what types of categories of awards you guys would like to have. Please leave any suggestions you have here. If you guys have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Thanks.

Violet · 08-08-2010, 10:07 PM

Haha. Surely you jest about the I Am Kloot thing.

I like that little group of ideas of yours, especially the debut album one.

Darlene_Ihnfsa · 08-08-2010, 10:09 PM

then debut album will do it for the new band.

shall we add coldplayers categories?
best musician, best album, best cover?

Violet · 08-08-2010, 10:14 PM

I think awards concerning the WoM Coldplayers is a good call.

mc_squared · 08-08-2010, 10:24 PM

Most Irritating Band/Singer.

The Final Track · 08-08-2010, 10:29 PM

Best cover as in cover song or album?

we should have both.

Best Music Video
Best B-side?
Best new band/artist (not nec. a debut)

Black Rose · 08-08-2010, 10:31 PM

Best Group - EU+North America
Best Group - Rest of World

Darlene_Ihnfsa · 08-08-2010, 10:32 PM

cover one i mentioned, was meant for coldplayers.
best cover of a song from a coldplayers, we have musicians here, so i think it'll be interesting to add those categories.

Violet · 08-08-2010, 10:34 PM

If there are enough people that have covers here on the site, then sure, we can do that.

Good job throwing out more of these ideas. I'm especially liking Will's B-side idea.

Speaking of which, would that category just include new songs, or could that include remixes of songs that aren't B-sides as well?

The Final Track · 08-08-2010, 10:39 PM

Anything released as a b-side in 2010 should be right
