Branson Show Awards
For
2010
I will name the top 10 nominees in each category by July 31, 2010. The nominees will then be trimmed to 5 that day. Then on October 15, 2010, my committee will vote their top three. Three points will be given to the first place, two for second, and one point for third from each committee member. Votes will be counted and the winner will be declared on November 1, 2010. Ties will stand as ties. I reserve the ritght to make a tie. Some performances will be seen again so we can make a well educated decision. I will list all dates on the Review Pages that I see each show during the year. Any comments can be emailed to BransonShowAwards@yahoo.com or BransonShowAwards@gmail.comand I will answer all emails very quickly. This list is a living list, as I see each show I take the show and cast and filter them into the awards list. The shows I have seen are listed in the Branson Show Reviews list. Email me with any comments. I welcome input. Read the Reviews and Ratings to decide what shows you would prefer when you arrive in Branson. If you see all the shows or performers in a particular category, let me know what your favorite is.
