Alright, let me take the dropout's place: http://www.youngcomposers.com/music/4898/campaign-speech-for-tuba-and-teleprompter/

^^sore drop-out. I like Sojar Voglar's proposal. I don't know how does a work get into the "Major Works" file, but if there are different criteria, we could as well just have another file for "YC Members' Choices".

^^ Sore loser. Congratulations to the winners, all of which I deem as deserving their awards. BTW, next year there should be a category for "most embittered member".

I have now voted after a listening marathon.

A couple more nitpicks... Sojar Voglar still appears twice in the "Old Timers" category. While listening to the nominated pieces (which is why I haven't voted yet), I noticed that JohnBucket's Sonata in E minor was uploaded in August 2011. Is it still eligible for this year's awards? Please clarify. Thanks.

Let's hope they're posted before the Mayan Apocalypse.

Jack the Ripper.

More than a week later...

From what I've seen, that might be asking too much from some members. Worst thing - they don't even manage to be funny.

Since I received no answer, I decided to send nominations as well. You're free to throw them away at once. Bear in mind that, since I am not really acquainted with almost anyone on this site, I left many of the member categories without nominee.

Dear Mr. God (the Panda one, not the other), I joined YC just last August, and I seldomly take part on thread discussions, but have listened to a whole lot of pieces (even commenting on a few of them). Am I allowed to nominate works anyways? Thanks!

My guess is that it might be annoying to play for too long - but it's possible that a different percussionist could find no problem about it.

I don't really get what all of this is really about. But I'd rather write a piece that has any chance of getting performed at least once. :cool: ...

The three Ms... Mozart Mahler Messiaen I could add a fourth M - Mendelssohn. I'm also fond of some Tchaikovsky and most of the killer Bs (Bach, Beethoven, Berlioz, Brahms, Bruckner, Bartok, Britten - and the Beatles).
