The APCMA's feature an online voting system so the nominees and award winners are selected by the fans instead of a panel of industry experts. This means that if you're interested in being nominated or winning, you got to be really active on email and social networking sites to get your fans to vote for you.

The voting happens in two stages:
-----------------------------------------
ROUND 1 BEGINS: July 8, 2008
ROUND 1 ENDS: August 15, 2008

NOMINEES ANNOUNCED: August 20, 2008

ROUND 2 BEGINS: August 20, 2008
ROUND 2 ENDS: October 17, 2008
