13th Annual Cincinnati Entertainment Awards  

Hard to believe it’s time to announce the nominees for the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards for Music (CEAs). Where did the year go?
After consulting with CityBeat’s music writers as well as local promoters, club owners, music organization heads and various other scene insiders, we’ve somehow managed again to squeeze a year’s worth of excellent local music into a list of CEA nominees. The task of settling on five nominees per public category has never been more difficult — next year we might have to expand to six.

As with previous years, you determine the winners of 16 public categories by voting online. Voting will continue through early November.
