Ballot

The nominations included on the final voter ballot are drawn from a consensus of the suggestions Earshot Jazz receives. The final ballots consider work accomplished in the previous calendar year and are intended to recognize and reward artists and ensembles whose work for the prior year stands out as exemplary. Ballot write-in votes are also accepted. As always, the goal of this process is to get a sense of what the fans and musicians actually admire and support, not who can stuff the ballot box most!

Due March 15, 2011

Please vote today using ONE of the following methods:
1) Online by submitting the form below, or
2) Send an email with your choices to vote@earshot.org, or
3) Print a pdf file of the ballot and mail your selections to the Earshot Jazz office at 3429 Fremont Place N, #309, Seattle WA, 98103.
