Hi r/edm – it’s the end of 2019, and that means it’s time for our end of the year awards process! Here’s how it works:

We will be making nominations for “Best Artist,” “Best Original Track (Solo),” “Best Original Track (Collab),” “Best Remix,” “Best Album/EP,” and “Best Mix/Set” for each of the following subgenres and subgenres groupings:

-Bass House/G House/Bassline

-Bigroom House (includes melodic bigroom/festival “prog” House)

-Dance Pop & Dancehall

-Drum & Bass

-Dubstep & Riddim (does not include melodic - this will be separated)

-Electro House

-Future Bass

-Future House

-Hard Dance (Hardstyle, Hardcore etc.)

-House (other subgenres)

-Melodic Dubstep

-Midtempo Bass

-Progressive House (does not include festival)

-Tech House

-Techno

-Trance (includes associated trance-influenced genres such as Trouse, Progressive Trance etc.)

-Trap

-Tropical House & “Shallow House” (Nora En Pure, EDX etc)

-Other (to encompass smaller genres & artists who may defy easy genre categorization - examples include Wave, Breaks, Speedcore etc)

We will also have several genre non-specific categories:

-Best Label

-Best Festival

-Best Breakout Artist

-Best Radio Show

-Best Content Creator

-Best Album Art

-Best Social Media Presence

-Best Live Performance (i.e. incorporating non-DJing components)

-Best Compilation Album

-Post of the Year (r/edm Meta Vote)

Each genre will be a “Main” comment, with each nomination category (Best Artist, Original Track etc.) as a subcomment. If you want to make a nomination, please comment the song, artist, album etc. on the appropriate subcomment. Each nomination must be its own comment (that is, ONE song/producer/etc. per comment), and you may make as many nominations as you like. I strongly recommend including links to the content you nominate, but it is not required. Comments that do not follow these guidelines will be deleted. Please check to make sure you are not nominating something that has already been posted. If you believe a song has been nominated in the wrong category, you may kindly comment the suggestion on the nomination. If you are a dick about this, we will remove your comment. If we believe a song is nominated in the incorrect place we will delete the comment and ask you to re-nominate in the correct location. Songs must be released in 2019 to be eligible.

The Nominations period will continue for ~1 week. At the end of the week, the 5 most upvoted nominations in each category will become “finalists” for our final awards poll that will be conducted. This final awards poll will be open for 1 week, with the winners announced at the conclusion of the voting period. Happy listening, and nominate away!
