Note: The Kerth Awards have long aimed to have 5 nominations per category, but when competition is especially fierce in a category, the K-Com has to make some hard decisions on where that cutoff should be. Because of this, you\u2019ll see that this year\u2019s categories have a range of nominee tallies\u20144, 5, 6 or even 3 or a whopping 7! For a more detailed explanation, see the official nominee list post on the MBs.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
