AUSTIN, TX (October 16, 2006) – The Celtic MP3s Music Magazine, the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, and the Brobdingnagian Bards are proud to announce the opening of the 2nd Annual Celtic Music Awards. The awards page began with the goal to try and determine who the most-popular independent Celtic music groups are online through popular voting.

In 2005, only the top 10 Celtic music groups, by listener votes, were counted. This year, the voting opportunities are expanded with the addition of new award categories to better recognize contributors from the individual Celtic music genres (including folk, traditional, rock, new age). Listener’s can vote online from now until December 31, 2006. The results will be announced in March 2007 with a special Irish & Celtic Podcast that features music by the most popular artists in each category. You can see who the winners were in the 2005 Celtic Music Awards on the website. CDs from these select artists are also available for purchase at CDBaby.com and Amazon.com.

Complete contest rules can be found on-line at http://www.celticmp3s.com/awards/.
