Well its about that time folks. Another fall is rolling around, 2/3 of the way through the year will soon be upon us and that means its time for The Big Red’s nominations. I need your help though. See the main page of the website? On the right side there is a form. I need folks to go ahead and fill out their choices for the categories below. Be sure to fill it out completely, otherwise I can’t help you or take your suggestion (without an artist and a category at least). Anyway, see below for this year’s groups and start nominating away!
