Posted December 17, 201410 yr http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/MarthaJonesFan/PopForumAwardsBanner-1.png (Many thanks to Joseph for the fabulous banner! - The guy next to Ella that you don't recognise is Hunter Hayes just so you are aware...) Welcome to the first ever edition of the Pop Forum Awards (as far as we know!) where we want to reward those that have made 2014 another fantastic (and not so fantastic) year of music! We have 27 award categories for you all to get involved in. All you need to do is to submit up to 3 nominations for each category (or as many categories as you want to get involved in) and remember that this is 2014 so don't go submitting 'Once' by Diana Vickers as the best single even though I know you all desperately want to. In order to prevent us influencing each other with our nominations, you need to do this via PM to myself (Ryan.) but feel free to start hype campaigns for your favourites in this thread! Of course there are some blurred lines (featuring Pharrell) between what is 2014 and what is not, but we trust your instincts and if there is anything that is completely unacceptable then we'll let you know so you have the opportunity to make a replacement nominations. So here are the categories for the 2014 Pop Forum Awards! ARTIST AWARDSBest female solo artistBest male solo artistBest groupSocial media iconBest emerging pop artistMost anticipated comeback for 2015Next artist to upgrade from indie to popBest promotional teamPop villain of the yearPop saviour of the yearSONG AWARDSBest singleBest single artworkBest debut singleMost overrated singleMost underrated singleBest collaborationSurprise smash of the yearSurprise flop of the yearSong too good to just be an album trackBest track to be relegated to a deluxe bonusOTHER AWARDSBest albumBest album artworkBest music videoBest fanbase nameBest live performanceWorst live performanceUltimate pop music moment of 2014 (This can be absolutely anything!)We've purposely not included too many negative awards as the main point of these awards are to celebrate the music of 2014, and we don't need endless categories being battles just between Jessie J and Pixie Lott (even though they don't deserve such negativity!). Please remember that your nominees need to apply to singles and albums released in 2014 as well as what artists have done this year. So to summarise, nominate up to 3 for each of the categories above and send these nominations to me (Ryan.) via PM before 11pm UK time on December 26th. The final shortlist of nominees will then be revealed by Umi shortly afterwards which will contain the top 5 most nominated for or as close to as possible depending on ties! This is the first time we've run something like this so I apologise in advance if this all goes wrong! Feel free to ask any questions in this thread. Have fun! Nominations Received from...

December 19, 201410 yr And the girl in the top left? :unsure: ^_^ Who's the irrelevant wedged between Rita and Olly? :unsure: Bitches x Sarah slaying the banner *_* http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/uploads/group_images/of_18_icon.gif
December 19, 201410 yr Question - are nominees restricted to just pop artists or can people like Iggy or Nicki be nominated too?
December 19, 201410 yr Author Question - are nominees restricted to just pop artists or can people like Iggy or Nicki be nominated too? cD7IyhH_vZ8 I think Iggy and Nicki for example do have pop crossover so I'd say they would be fine. People like Jason Derulo, Sam Smith and Marina would all be fine as well as while they are not in the Pop forum, they definitely have that pop crossover.
December 19, 201410 yr I'd say FKA Twigs is quite pop-ey :magic: This year has been a great year for pop as a whole tbh. Would Ariana Grande count as Pop cause she keeps changing from R&B to pop :lol:
December 19, 201410 yr Author Yep Ariana is fine too, as long as its not someone who has no connection to pop whatsoever then it'll be fine! :D
December 19, 201410 yr Would Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars be ok to nominate? It has some pop crossover i suppose :unsure: ~

December 19, 201410 yr Author Also just a reminder that you can nominate up to 3 different songs/artists/whatever for each category, and of course you don't have to nominate in any categories you don't want to. ^_^
