The Offie Mag Awards are back. Voting is now open.
Our famed Readers’ Project of the Year goes to the project that our readers have enjoyed the most in 2024. We’ve made the shortlist, all you lot have to do is pick what wins. This year we’ve got an award to give out and everything.
It was no mean feat to whittle down our favourite albums, mixtapes and EPs into a 15-project list, and due to the impossible task of ranking subjective art into any kind of order, we're relieved to be passing over the responsibilities to you, our incredible subscribers, playlist listeners and casual readers, once again.
Register your vote by clicking on this form.
From our shortlist of 15 EPs, mixtapes and albums released by independent artists and record labels in 2024, you have to pick your favourite three. Some of you might know the whole list, some of you might only know one or two, so take your time to have a listen and familiarise yourself with the projects.
