Update: Due to a technical error (well, to be honest we thought we had closed the voting but we had not) we are keeping the polls open till the last day in November. The virtual award ceremony will run week beginning the 21 December 2014. Who is the greatest living conductor of Wagner? Plus who has our editor selected for special editors awards? Find out soon.
Time flies so quickly it seems, for it is now 10 months since we first asked you to nominate entries, in a number of categories, in the first "Wagnerian's Readers Choice Awards (henceforth "The Wagnerians"), Indeed, so enthusiastic was the response that we needed to run a semi-final a few months later to reduce the number of entries in the male and female performer categories - from over 18 in each down now to more manageable 8.
So why has it taken so long to get the final voting? A number of reasons, that included not only technical ones but the way in which we could include certain categories. Indeed, so complex did this become, that we have felt the need, at least this year, to leave certain categories out - such as best CD. We won't bore you at this stage why this is the case apart from saying we are looking at how to address this next year.
But never-mind that for the present, for you finally have the opportunity to make your voice known below. This year there are five categories: Conductor, female and male performer, book and app of the year. All require a vote, apart from phone app of the year. This last omission is due to the simple fact that that not everyone that votes may have a "smart phone".
