This is the Preliminary voting round, where we will narrow all these nominations down to just five artists in each category. Voting will be open from Sunday, November 5th, 2023, until 11:59 pm on Monday, November 13th, 2023. A vote will be successfully tallied after our confirmation email has been replied to by 11:59 pm on Sunday, November 19th, which will be sent from CWHipHopRNB@gmail.com. One vote may be cast from our website here, and one vote may be cast on both an Instagram and Facebook account that follows CWHipHop.
If you have problems submitting your vote, message @cwhiphop on Instagram or email CWHipHopRNB@gmail.com.
A few categories did not have over five submissions and will not be in the Preliminary Vote: ‘Best Rap Duo/Group,’ ‘Best Album,’ ‘Best Beat Producer,’ ‘Best Cover Art,’ and ‘Best Performance.’ Also, the following Community Nominations: ‘Best HipHop Venue/Bar,’ ‘Best Concert of 2023,’ and ‘Best Music Podcast/Interviewer.’ They will be in the Final Vote.
Final voting will begin Sunday, November 26th, 2023, until 11:59 pm Monday, December 11th, 2023. The same way to vote will be in place. One vote through our website and one vote through Instagram & Facebook.
