Oh boy… this friggin’ poll is so much work it becomes almost surreal… know what I mean? But we are getting there folks! We just uploaded the full list of artists nominated for our Best of NYC 2011 Poll for Emerging Artists. It’s in the right column here and also on this beautiful page that sums up what happened in 2011 here at The Deli NYC. Some bands in the list were selected through a submission process (see NYC genre results in the post below) and some others were picked by our jury of local scene-makers (list below), who could freely choose 3 bands each in order of preference. Points were already assigned to each band according to how well they did in the selection process. Now the readers’ and fans’ votes will also influence the final chart. Each vote will count!
THE COVER OF THE DELI IS THE PRIZE
And of course… the winner of the overall poll (i.e. the final chart including the votes from our jury, our writers and the readers and fan’s poll) will be featured on the cover of the spring 2012 issue of The Deli Magazine!
