[jja-announce] Jazz Awards Nominations Due Saturday, 3/18 by midnight

[Ken Dryden]

Dear JJA Member:
   
If you have not already submitted your JJA Award Nominations, please 
do so by tomorrow. You may be getting 1-2 more reminder emails but the 
deadline will be firm at midnight, Saturday, March 18th (or 12:01 am PT Sunday, just to make it clear).
   
There are many deserving musicians, broadcasters, journalists and 
others who are worthy of your time and consideration. Please nominate 
up to 5 per category.
   
Here is a list of last year's categories, which should be identical 
for 2006. Please that categories with an asterisk are lifetime awards, 
so previous winners are ineligible. 

The ballot submission email address has not been finalized, but if you 
intend to send in nominations now, please send them to 
jjaballot2006 at yahoo.com, instead of any of my individual email 
addresses in the JJA database. Please do not use this email address for 
any other purpose, all emails other than ballots sent to it will be 
deleted
  . 
Please sign your name at the top of your ballot so we may verify that 
you are indeed eligible to vote. 

  Please reply in the body of your email instead of attaching a ballot.
  
Thanks. 

Make up to five nominations for each award. Please note that 
nominations are due by midnight, March 18, PT
