Golden Kayak Awards 2021, everybody please read this thread.
The 2021 Golden Kayak Awards are here! Please read, everybody..
ok the first thing you need to know about the 2021 Golden Kayak Awards is we're doing it pretty much identically to how we did it before.
Some of the genres like before are combined due to a smaller amount of songs in their categories and because we don't want the awards show to go on forever. :) We reserve the right to combine and/or eliminate categories if nominees for any category are scarce.
I'll say upfront that just as it is patriotic to participate when your country has a national election, I implore you to do your part for indiekind. It may not be the most pleasant thing for you to contemplate who amongst your peers had good songs in this past year but we ask you to spend a little energy, whatever you can spare, chiming in for this worthwhile cause. As far as we know it's the only indie awards show of this kind and I feel it's the best and most real one because the nominees are generated by the artists themselves along with listeners who frequent the site.
Eligibility - Anyone who was an artist or pipeline participant up to the time this was posted can send one nomination email (and one vote email once the ballot comes out). If you have multiple pages you can still only send one of each. It helps if you use the email listed as your contact email to send so we can verify but make sure your name is on it somewhere.
Songs eligible- To make it easier for everyone this year, for you cause the songs are all in one place and for me because so often folks sent in nominations using songs from years past, all you need to do to look for songs to nominate is to go to Norm's 2 Condenders Stations for 2021, on the top of the right column on the front page. There are songs on both stations from every genre so make sure you cover both.
Anyway you can nominate one item in each of 25 categories, Cut and paste the list below and put your member name at the top so we can easily check eligibility. No member name, we don't process. You can't nominate any song you took part in creating and any song I'm involved in is ineligible as well. Don’t waste a nomination on Negative Tendencies because I am ineligible. We ask that you don't fill your nominations with a list of your friends but rather let quality of song be the criteria. Put the name of song and the name of artist in the appropriate genre. In combined categories like Ambient and Classical, you can nominate one song for either category but not both. You can leave some of the categories blank if you want in your nominations email. One thing/stipulation we're adding this year: If we get any of these nomination sheets where somebody basically sent it to nominate one act, we're throwing those out, it's not real participation from our vantage point. People get their friends to nominate all their songs and any super-halfassed effort like this will not be included. This is not about selfish interests but about musical posterity so be true to the music please.
Also if you want to ask folks to nominate you or someone else you're a fan of on the pipeline, you can do that, no problem at all.
Send your nominations email to indiemusicpeople3@gmail.com, they must be in by 12 AM PST 12-11-21.

Send your nominations email to indiemusicpeople3@gmail.com, they must be in by 12 AM PST 12-11-21. Please get the email address right on this cause every year we end up finding several emails sent to the wrong address.
Genres used will be based on the main genres that artist chose. If you see an odd genre, hold cursor over that and you'll see the main genre you're working with.
When nominations are all in (by Dec 11th), a ballot will be created, probably by 1-1-22. Musicology Dept. will help with this as there will be many songs with just one nomination. Each category on the ballot will have 4 to 8 songs in it. Then you will have 2 weeks to vote for whoever.
Any weird shit like songs where the artist changes genres in the middle or ballots we can't verify and so on will be thrown out of the competition.
If there is a final tie in the voting (on final ballot), there's no tie-breaker, both or all 3 songs will get the Kayak.
When competition is done there will be an On Demand Awards Show to announce the winners which will also be provided to our affiliate stations. There are no prizes except for a banner on your page and a permanent listing on the Golden Kayak Wall of Fame. The results and radio show will deliver a substantial amount of exposure to the winners. The tentative date for the awards show is January 10th but that is subject to change.
Any questions?
Anything at all, remember you can write me at indiemusicpeople2 at gmail but use indiemusicpeople3 at gmail for your nominations please.

Thank you for everything you do, and for your love of indie music, Scott!
And special thanks to Norm for his GK Contenders stations, too. Makes it really easy to stay in the eligibility window.

Will there be an extension for a few more days for the stragglers this year who did not get their nomination list in before time expired? I hope there were enough people who participated to make this work out and provide a nice list to nominees
good luck and all the best to everyone.

yes we will have to extend it. There simply are not enough nominations as of this point to hold the awards this year.

My apologizes for my participation. Ray made me look life a fool to someone I hold in esteem.

Did I miss Ray? Am I glad I did? Yes and yes!
Ray is, without a doubt, one of the most bitter, hateful, and horrible people in the indie music world.
I will have my nominations in by Saturday. Let's just say that everyone who released music over the last year is a winner in advance. It's been really tough.

I got mine submitted in spite of Scott's dismal news. I hope there was a strong last-minute surge. It would be a drag if we had to skip it this year.
