HOW DOES IT WORK?

The contest will move through a few rounds of voting that go like this:

ROUND 1
Voters are encouraged to “write in” as many of their favorite bands as possible, and then to return to vote for their favorites each day. At the end of the round, the top 128 bands by total votes are selected as finalists for the remainder of the contest.

ROUND 2
Until the week of the Sammys award show, you may vote once per day for your favorite finalists. Each Wednesday, starting Aug. 18, 2010, the total amount of finalists in the running with be cut in half During the final weeks, we’ll post information on our Web site about the final few contestants.
