The Golden Boot Awards are back! The Boot's fan-voted digital awards are returning for a sixth year -- and it's up to you, our readers, to determine the winner in each of this year's 10 categories.
Launched in 2014, the Golden Boot Awards feature nominees selected by The Boot's staff in categories including Artist of the Year, Collaboration of the Year, Songwriter of the Year and Living Legend, among others. Nominations are based on an artist's work in 2019 as a whole.
Nominees for this year's Golden Boot Awards include country superstar Carrie Underwood (Artist of the Year, Live Act of the Year), rising artist Tyler Childers (Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Live Act of the Year, Song of the Year, Music Video of the Year), Americana favorite Brandi Carlile (Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year, to say nothing of her work with Tanya Tucker and the Highwomen) and more. A complete list of nominees is below; click each category name to go vote.
Readers can vote for their preferred winner in each 2018 Golden Boot Awards category as often as once per hour through 11:59PM ET on Jan. 23. The Boot will announce the winners on TheBoot.com on Jan. 24.
