2025 WISCONSIN ICON AWARDS – PRELIMINARY VOTE

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 3rd, 2024, until 11:59 pm on Monday, November 11th, 2024. A vote will be successfully tallied after our confirmation email has been replied to by 11:59 pm on Friday, November 15th, which will be sent from CWHipHopRNB@gmail.com. One vote may be cast from our website, and one vote may be cast on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook accounts that follow 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 Beat Producer,’ ‘Best Cover Art,’ and ‘Best Performance.’ They will be in the Final Vote.

Final voting will begin Sunday, November 24th, 2024, and go until 11:59 pm on Monday, December 9th, 2024. The same way to vote will be in place. One vote through our website and one vote through Instagram, TikTok & Facebook.

Best of luck to all the artists, and thank you for participating in CWHipHop’s 3rd Annual Wisconsin Icon Awards! You can’t spell Wisconsin without ‘Icons!’
