Tri State Indie would once again like to thank all the members of the 3rd Annual (Feb 2014) TSI Music Awards Nomination Committee for their time and dedication to the independent music community. It is because of people like you, that independent musicians can survive in todays music scene!

TSI Music Awards Nomination Process

At the end of every year, each committee member receives a blank ballot to fill in their top 3 nominees for each category they are well versed in.  Once all nomination ballots are submitted, each category is tallied to reveal which nominees received the most votes in each category. The top 3 nominees who received the most nominations are announced and move on to 3 weeks of public voting on tristateindie.com.
