Brit awards - how are the winners decided?
Is it a public voted or is it down to a panel? Can't find out anywhere :/

I know at least some of the awards are voted for by the public, i.e. listeners of Capital, Radio 1, Radio 2 etc.

Both.
The vast majority is panel voted but Best British Breakthrough is by the public. This year for the first time (in atleast ages) Best British Single is also going to be panel voted aswell, which is great as that was always the award that was hijacked by boyband fanbases. |

According to this old BBC article, referenced on Wiki: Quote:
They are voted for by more than 1,000 people, including BPI member companies, DJs, music press, TV presenters, music industry members, lawyers, accountants, promoters and NUS entertainment officers.
Don't know if it's changed in recent years but I doubt it.

As far as the international awards go, they basically just award the ones who actually show up.

Anyone who performs gets an award, the brits mean nothing to real music fans.

Think it's ridiculous them taking out Outstanding Contribution this year hopefully it's back next year. There's so many Brit artists that still haven't won that award.

The Brits usually reflect commercial success, wheres the Mercury prize, for eg, is often an award for "The best album that didnt sell much".
