Brit Award for Rising Star
The Rising Star Award (previously Critics' Choice Award)[1] is an award given by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), an organisation which represents record companies and artists in the United Kingdom.[2] The accolade is presented at the Brit Awards, an annual celebration of British and international music.[3] The winners and nominees are determined by the Brit Awards voting academy with over one-thousand members, which comprise record labels, publishers, managers, agents, media, and previous winners and nominees.[4] The nominees are British artists who the academy believe will make the biggest impact on music in the coming year. The winner is announced in November prior to the awards ceremony.

gollark: You could just... specifically handle those.
gollark: Because you *can* "hide" files that way, people *did* it, which is bad.
gollark: If we did not HAVE hidden files, it would likely be less common to foolishly hide stuff.
gollark: Not ALL of them.
gollark: Config files should be under `~/.config` (or, well, `~/config`), not randomly scattered under your home directory with names like `.vimrc` or `.apioform-config`.
