Question: Once the final nominees are announced, how are the recipients chosen?
Answer: Final voting is determined by the special awards committee of music professionals, who are each sent a final ballot, and a collective tally of fan, online voting (This means EACH committee person has a final vote, plus the one receiving the highest number of fan votes per category counts as ONE ‘1’ committee person’s vote). The final round of online voting runs each year from March 1-14.
