At this year's shortlist, there are 47 artists, including many established names and fresh talents that have fought their place in 13 categories. Particularly exciting for the fans: From now on you can vote online at voting.aama.at daily until January 16 for your favorite artists. With a third of the audience voting, jury judgments and music sales, it is finally decided who can take the glittering trophies home. In this category, too, the wide range of genres that the Austrian music scene has to offer becomes clear. A total of 13 artists have made it to this coveted list for the first time, including the newcomer SODL, who has already won the FM4 Award, as well as the legendary dialect band the sea, which is honored for their life's work, like vienna.at holds.

In the category "Album of the Year", top -class titles such as "Until one cries" by Bibiza compete against "The outrage strikes back" by Aut of Orda. There is definitely something for every taste with the big names of Austrian music. It remains exciting which artists will ultimately clear the awards in the different categories and genres - the fans are now saying and every voice counts!
