Ladies and Gentleman, Indie Acoustic Project (IAP) is proud to announce that the winners for the ‘Best CDs of 2013’ have been selected!

The winners in each of 8 categories were selected from among the 3 finalists in each category. It was a hard choice for the IAP to make, since each of the 24 finalist CDs were outstanding in their own right. But, since the IAP award process is based on the Oscar and Grammy Awards, winners are expected to be chosen. Hopefully, these awards will help all indie artists by generating increased awareness of independently produced music from around the world.
