Nearly 2,000 ballots were cast during the voting period for this year’s Flagpole Athens Music Awards, and now you can check out the list of finalists in all 20 categories by clicking over to the Music Awards homepage.

The top three vote recipients in each category are considered finalists, unless there was a third-place tie, in which case there are four finalists.

In the write-in Artist of the Year category, the four finalists are Circulatory System, Kishi Bashi, Oak House and last year’s winner, Family and Friends.

Check out the rest of this year’s finalists here.

The overall winners will be announced next Thursday, June 25 at the 2015 Flagpole Athens Music Awards show at the historic Morton Theatre. Tickets for the awards show are $8 in advance, $10 at the door and $5 with an AthFest wristband, and available at the Flagpole office (220 Prince Ave.) and the Morton box office.

In addition, each finalist group receives two free tickets to the show, and may purchase additional tickets at the discounted $5 price. Swing by Flagpole or contact stephanie@flagpole.com to claim your passes.
