2 Weeks Left To Vote

Just under two weeks left to vote for the nominees of The First Annual Music Blog Awards, which are being brought to you by eMusic.com. Please check out the information below if you'd like to vote.

The Music Blog Awards are the first music award event to combine the way today's audience listens to music (MP3s), discovers music (music blogs), and celebrates it (the MUBA). The nominees selected in each category were chosen by a diverse group of authors from some of the most popular music blogs. Though the nominees were selected by the music bloggers, the winners in each category will be chosen by the general public. That means you! Voting is now live at http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB2269CC7CSU5. Everyone who votes will be given the chance to sign up for eMusic. Also, they will be able to get exclusive playlists hand-selected by the music bloggers. Voting will end on June 15, 2007, so vote now!
