Western Front Awards '09/'10 - NOMINATIONS

Ok, I've been busy with a few things so I hadn't gotten around to it before but now I've started up the nomination period for the next Western Front metal awards. To have your say or lodge your nominations just head to the forum (this thread in particular) and put down who you would like to see in the running.

The nominees for each category will be compiled from that and a short list made up for everyone to vote for their favourite choice. As always later in the year there will be the huge awards ceremony where the winners will be revealed.
