4th Globby Awards

The 4th edition of the Globby Awards, held between January and February 2022, once again hosted by @DesertWolf. Songs from seasons 18 to season 20 were eligible to compete for these awards, like in the previous edition, All Stars entries were not allowed. The voting procedure followed the one of the previous edition with minor changes like a major shortlist of entries eligible for each category to shorten the voting process and an extra vote for the winner of the first phase of voting in each category to improve their chances of win in the second phase of voting.

A minor expansion was made, rising the number of categories from 23 to 27, to offer a wider variety of options and to recognise the efforts of more participants.

The nominees were announced on the 30th of January in a minor ceremony, that was initially meant to happen on the previous day. Once again, @Dutch was the participant with the biggest amount of nominations with 11 this time, followed closely by @littlepotter with 9 and both @hausofcy and @FameMonster01 with 8 each.

Automatically nominated entries, there was a tie in this category meaning that two songs received the award.
