Voting opened on 27 September 2022 for the 13th annual SOS Awards and continues throughout October and November 2022. The results will be compiled and announced on our website and social channels in early 2023.
Each category consists of a shortlist of nominations, chosen by the SOS editorial team, and we’d like you to help us identify the outstanding product in each group. You are not required to vote in every category — if you don’t have any strong opinions on some of the product groups, then there’s no need to vote for anything in those categories.
You may vote for any product in any category. You do not have to vote in all categories if you don't have a favourite, in which case you should select the 'NONE' option.
To vote, you need to go to the special page of the "Sound on Sound Awards 2023" editor's website, choose your favorites, and at the end, enter your name and email address, and send.
Rules
- Only one vote per category per person is permitted.
- Employees of SOS Publications Group, all nominated Manufacturers, and their immediate families and business associates are ineligible to vote.
- Please ensure that you give your CORRECT name and email address on your entry form.
- Voting closes at 10:59 on December 1, 2022.
