Note: to be fair, people on the awards committee are not allowed to nominate their own acts (only other committee members can nominate them) nor can they vote in categories in which they are nominated.

To be considered for a nomination, the act must have performed at a Punk Rock Night Indy show between Sept 11, 2021 and Sept 8, 2022. Albums considered for Best Release must have been released between September 2021 and September 2022 and the band must have performed at a PRN show (or been booked if the show was cancelled) between the dates above.

If you won, you have one year to claim your trophy – best way to get it is to attend the awards show or book another show with us and we will present it to you on stage.
