Music/Musique NB wants your help in choosing the winners. You get to decide who has been a clear leader in representing New Brunswick’s musical talent and industry professionals. Several of the categories will be decided using weighted votes from the general public (25%), jurors (25%) and MNB members (50%). Others will be be determined entirely by jurors while, naturally, the Fans’ Choice Award will be 100% determined by the public and the Members’ Choice Award will be decided by MNB Members,
