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 15, 2023 and Sept 16, 2024. Albums considered for Best Release must have been released between September 2023 and September 2024 and the band must have performed at a PRN show 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.
