## Rules for Initial Nominations

Follow these instructions/rules to ensure that all of your nominations are counted fairly:

1) For each nomination category, you can nominate up to 4 nominations for each category.

2) Self-nominations (anything that directly involves yourself) will not count.

3) You do not have to submit a nomination for every category. If there is a category that you do not want to submit anything for, leave the answer blank.

4) If you submit a nomination for a category, you must have a minimum of 2 nominations.

5) If you submit more than 4 nominations for a category, only the first 4 that are listed will count.

IMPORTANT: ALL ALBUMS/SONGS NOMINATED MUST BE RELEASED BETWEEN OCTOBER 1, 2019 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 OR ELSE THEY WILL NOT COUNT!!!!!!!!

* We reserve the right to delete nominations which we find to either be irrelevant or not applicable. This can include nominating the same group of people for an over excessive amount of awards, especially those which do not really apply to them.
* You must submit your nominations by October 25 at 7 PM EST otherwise they will not count. This deadline will be strictly enforced so do not try to submit past that.
* Below please enter your Discord ID. This is to ensure that nominations are selected fairly and to prevent self-nominations.
