Busy times, these.
Not only is it New Release Day on The Craig Norris Hour, it's also day 2 of nominations for The 2012 Buckys - R3's year-end listener choice awards!
You will hear some new music on the show, but I'll also be looking for Bucky Awards nominations in the category of "Best Reason To Learn French" (best Francophone artist song).
There are three, easy ways to nominate songs for The Bucky Awards:
:: comment below
:: email r3social@cbc.ca
:: tweet @cbcradio3
Nominations for this category are open from Oct 30 - Nov 1, and anything played on Radio 3 released between December 2011 and now is eligible.
We will announce the long list of ten nominees in each category on November 13th. Your votes will narrow it down to a short list of five nominees, which will be announced on November 21st with voting closing on November 28th. The 2012 Bucky Awards will be handed out in our traditional gala ceremony on December 7th.
