WHO’S DECIDINGWHAT?


Five finalists will be announced for each category in February. Winners are mostly decided by our 150­strong Industry Judging Panel, who vote confidentially but are named after the event. There are, however, a handful of notable exceptions, including:


• Independent Retailer – voted for by independent labels (AIM members) • Independent Record Company – voted for by the UK’s network of Record Store Day retailers • Sales Team – voted for by leading UK retailers (ERA members) • Live Venue – voted for by a panel of managers and A&Rs • The Strat – decided by the Music Week editorial team
