The BBC wants your vote to decide one of the most important prizes at the 2005 Awards for World Music - the Audience Award. The award, won last year by Iraqi singer Kadim Al Sahir, is decided by BBC listeners and readers around the world.
The BBC needs you to vote on who should take the overall Audience Award, to be announced at the Poll Winners Concert which takes place in the United Kingdom on 5 March. Voting begins on 1 January.
The shortlist of nominees was chosen by the 2,000 delegates to Womex, the world music expo. A jury of music specialists will choose the winners for different world regions and in the categories of Newcomer and Boundary Crossing, Club Global, and Album of the Year. But the Audience Award is a chance for listeners to make their own choice from the nominations.
The winners of these awards will be announced on 22 January.
