Finalists
(REVEALED!)
 

Over 900 artists have reached the Finals this year, selected out of the thousands of eligible participants who have received votes and on-site support. The cut-off point for each category varied. Some of the smaller categories needed only 20-or-so votes to make the Finals, while other categories required considerably more, 100 or 200 and in some cases a minimum of 500 votes. (A slightly different rule applied to reviewers. All active reviewers were eligible to be finalists). Big congratulations to all the artists who have reached the Finals!
 

Here's the complete list of all the artists who have reached the minimum votes required to place them in the finals of each category, and thus be eligible to become Nominees for this year's Effigy Awards (which is determined by votes as well as review scores). Many artists (or their songs) have been put forward in multiple categories, hence in some cases you'll see a multitude of "Finalist Positions."

Note: there needs not be a relationship between the number of Finalist Positions and the number of Nominations, once those are announced (during last year's Effigy Awards some artists had nearly 200 Finalist Positions but wound up with only 1 or 2 Nominations, while some others who had only a handful of Finalist Positions wound up with almost the same number of Nominations). Nominations will be determined this week, basing on site activity, further regular votes, reviews, profile visits and plays - as well as the total number of votes collected during this round of the Effigy Awards.
