Nominations for the 2016 Readers' Poll are open!

The nominations for our annual readers' poll, The Hotties, are now open.
Last year saw Hozier given a serious stamp of approval, as he walked away with three awards. There were also gongs for the likes of Damien Rice, The Script and Kodaline, while Keywest picked up the Most Promising award - a few months later, they were sat atop the chart with Joyland.
So what of this year? Might Gavin James have charmed the public to the point of grabbing Best Male honours? Are the likes of Little Hours or All Tvvins the next big thing from Irish shores? And just who was responsible for the best albums and tracks of the last 12 months?
As ever, the choice is entirely up to you - and we've now opened the nominations for the awards, which will be decided upon in the New Year. You can nominate acts in as many - or as few - of the fields as you like, so get involved and have your say - click here to start voting!
