Once again, Diva Dirt is calling out for nominations for their end of the year awards!
This year, the announcement of nominees and winners will be extra special, as Diva Dirt will be pairing with Ring the Belle to make the announcements live on their YouTube channel!
The writers of Diva Dirt will get their own say, but we want to hear from you!
If you’re new to the site, or need a refresher on how our awards work, let’s break it down:
The Diva Dirt Fan Awards are voted for by you and only you, the readers. We consider your input throughout the entire awards process, from voting for your winners to even informing the nominations process!
Each year, we open our awards season with the nominations suggestions ballot. Here, you’ll have the chance to suggest potential nominations for categories such as Match of the Year. We’ll take all of your suggestions into consideration when forming the official nominations shortlist.
The schedule for announcing the nominees and winners will be revealed soon, but they’ll be announced LIVE this year, from windy Chicago.
