Nominations begin March 31st through June 22th. Official ballot goes up in August. We will contact nominees in July to accept the nomination. If not enough nominations entered for certain categories those categories will be dropped. This award show is open to all and is not just for music. Geechee One Magazine is based in Charleston but we reach multiple states so anyone anywhere can be on the ballot and win. This award show is to honor and recognize those accomplishing their dreams.
