2nd Annual Renaissance Festival Awards

The Renaissance Festival Podcast in conjunction with the Brobdingnagian Bards have announced the commencement of the second annual Renaissance awards.

In 2005 they held the first ever such awards (that they know of) for best Renaissance Festival performers. Nominated and voted on by podcast listeners and Ren Faire Fans, these awards selected the cream of the crop. In 2005 the number one musical performers were The Lost Boys and the number one act in the non-musical category was the Tortuga Twins. The awards were so well received that it will become a permanent fixture on the Ren Awards Scene.



To add someone to the voting pool or select your favorite among the existing nominees, participants can access the voting function and contest rules at http://www.renaissancefestivalmusic.com/awards/. Voters can cast their ballots from now until December 31st, 2006 with winners being announced in January of 2007. For those interested in nominating someone, the number one criteria is that they have performed at least one time during 2006 at a Renaissance Faire.



This is a rare opportunity for Renaissance Faire enthusiasts to recognize the performers that they enjoy most at the Faires.
