Throughout 2018, our talented panel of artist-curators highlighted 55 people, organizations and projects they believed were advancing the musical arts. Each month, the voting by you, our readers, narrowed the field to create this year’s elite group of POP winners.

In August, 21CM partnered with the award-winning music blog I CARE IF YOU LISTEN to create the “New Voices” Essay Contest. Now, we are thrilled to announce the winners.

Each month, 21CM asks a leader in music to select the People, Organizations and Projects that have inspired them most. Now, we hand the voting over to you to select your favorites.
