It’s that time of year!  Here is the first round ballot for the 2022 SFCM Awards, where our readers get to vote on their favorites of the year in country music!

In this round, you may select up to 5 nominees in each category. We’ve done our best to set the ballot up with as many qualified candidates as we could for each category, but if you find something is missing, feel free to use the “Other” option to write them in!  This round closes on the night of Monday, January 2nd.   The top 5 vote-getters in each category will move on to the final round!

One ballot per person please.  Duplicate ballots by the same person using multiple email addresses or variations of their name will result in all of your ballots being disqualified.   We also ask that you try to fill in as many categories as you can.  If you’re coming in just to vote for one artist in a few categories, that will also result in your ballot being disqualified.  We want this to be a fair result, so no ballot stuffing please!

Thank you for taking the time to vote, and please share with your friends!
