The deadline is approaching for fans to vote for the '2013 ACM New Artist'

The Academy of Country Music Awards will be announced on April 7, and for the most part, voting is done by members of the academy. The one category in which fans can have a say in who wins is the ACM New Artist award.

Voting has been going on for a while now, but it will come to a close this coming Mon, Feb. 4 at 3:00 p.m. ET. Fans can vote once per day up until that time for their favorite New Male Vocalist, New Female Vocalist and New Vocal Duo or Group.

The nominees are:

New Male Vocalist

New Female Vocalist

New Vocal Duo or Group

The winner from each category will move on to compete for ACM New Artist of the Year, which will be announced live April 7 on the "ACM Awards," which will be televised on CBS starting at 8:00 p.m. ET/delayed PT.

Great American Country will be airing the "ACM Showcase," where fans can learn more about each of the nominees. The show will be shown on Sun., Feb. 3 at 8:00 p.m. or Mon., Feb. 4 at 12:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. ET.
