NOMINATIONS NOW BEING ACCEPTED

NOMINATIONS NOW BEING ACCEPTED FOR
MEMBERS' CHOICE PERFORMERS OF THE YEAR 2008

Its time for another MEMBERS' CHOICE POLL, and this time we are inviting all 2008-2009 members to nominate their choices for the best performances/performers during the past year - from December 1, 2007 through November 30th, 2008. This is an INTERNATIONAL poll - not limited to the USA - not limited to the NYC club scene. The only rules are that the performance/performer be nominated by a current member and the nominating member must have attended the show of the performer nominated. The performer nominated does not need to be a 2008-2009 member of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE (but, of course, that would be nice).

There are only 5 categories - Female & Male Vocalist, Female & Male Debut, and Musical and/or Comedy Duo or Group. These categories may be sub-divided if we receive a large number of nominees in a certain category (i.e. Female/Male Jazz, Female/Male Major, etc.)

There is a link to the Nominations Rules page on the home (index) page of the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website, and nominations need to be entered on the nominations form to be admissible. Nominations will be accepted until midnight, December 31st - the balloting will take place in January - the winners announced in February. REMEMBER: You must be a member to nominate and vote in this poll.

The MALE & FEMALE DEBUT winners will be invited to perform at our MARCH IS CABARET MONTH show on March 10th at THE LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATER.

ALL WINNERS WILL RECEIVE A FREE 2-WEEK RUN OF A SUPERSIZE BANNER ON THE CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE WEBSITE - banner must run before December 1, 2009.
