The Indiependent’s Award Show: The INDIES

Five Categories. 500+ Contributors. Five winners.

It’s commonplace to see the Grammy Awards scrutinised by music lovers and critics alike. Even Macklemore’s controversial win transcended public opinion and saw the artist apologise on behalf of the Grammy selectors. The transparency of the popular award shows has always come into question… especially since the selectors are hidden behind a questionable vail of expertise.

As this year comes to a close, we’ve let our dedicated contributors take part in their own award show, void of mystery and elitist sway. Five open polls for 500+ contributors to vote on, this is the most authentic list we have ever done. Today, we bring you the INDIES.
