The Gold Derby Music Awards event is now launched with 12 categories. As I mentioned in the suggestions thread, I wish I could’ve been more comprehensive with categories but constructing the event was a huge job that took weeks. Next year’s awards will be more expansive since I’ll have the whole next year to plan for them.

If you would like to vote for anyone I’ve left out, send me a private message. I’ll add new candidates on a case-by-case basis, but I’ll do my best to respond to people’s requests.

Also let me know if an artist is mis-categorized anywhere or should be included in an additional genre field. If an artist straddles genres, I included them and will allow them to be nominated in multiple categories if they get enough votes sort of like the American Music Awards (for instance, Post Malone is in both pop and rap/hip-hop). I used my best judgment on artists I’m not quite as familiar with, so give me a heads up.

GENERAL FIELD (10 nominees per category, you’ll be able to vote for your top 5 in order of preference):

Artist of the Year
Album of the Year
Record of the Year
Song of the Year
Best New Artist

GENRE (5 nominees per category, you’ll be able to vote for your top 3 in order of preference)

Best Pop Artist
Best R&B Artist
Best Rock/Alternative Artist
Best Rap/Hip Hop Artist
Best Country/Americana Artist
Best Latin Artist

Best Music Video

Thanks for your patience everyone! I hope you guys have fun with these, and again, I’ll do my best to accommodate requests. Nominations voting will last about a month, so there’s time.

A few observations:

Fetch The Bolt Cutters is missing from AOTY
FKA twigs is in both Alternative and R&B artist. She belongs only in the former.
Laura Marling is in both Alternative and Country/Americana. She belongs only in the latter.

And a few submissions would do some good too.

Why there are so many spanish artists but not a single brazilian one in the Latin Artist category? Spain is not part of Latin America while Brazil makes 44% of it. Can brazilian artists be added to the “Latin Artist” category, please?

Here are some suggestions: Anitta, Pabllo Vittar, Gloria Groove, Elza Soares, Pitty.

It's about the chaotic editing in Moulin Rouge!

Can you please add “I Know The End” by Phoebe Bridgers in Best Music Video? I’m not even sure why you added “Kyoto” instead of “I Know The End”

I’ll add Emicida to that list in case Daniel includes more artists.
