Amfortas, there's plenty of room for nominations.

B4 is the first work actually voted onto the final List.

12 Bruckner: Symphony № 5 in B flat major
10 Copland: Symphony № 3
08 Beethoven: Symphony № 7 in A major, op.92
08 Shostakovich: Symphony № 10 in E minor, op.93
06 Mahler: Symphony № 2 "Auferstehung"
05 Mozart: Symphony № 40 in G minor, K.550

03 Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms
02 Brahms: Symphony № 3 in F, op.90
02 Brahms: Symphony № 4 in E minor, op.98

01 Beethoven: Symphony № 4 in B flat major, op.60
01 Haydn: Symphony № 101
01 Schubert: Symphony № 3

Caveat: from now on, no Fast Track nominations will be accepted unless it is made by someone who is actually voting and not simply dropping in to name a Fast Track selection.    I'm letting in those made by Lethe and Mirror Image as a courtesy, since the rule was not yet enunciated.

Fast Track: Tchaikovsky 5 (I know, this probably would have made it, but this is a favorite, and so need to make sure it makes the list)

Comment: According to the rules, Beethoven and Mahler are over-represented. At any one time, there can be a max of 2 from any one composer. If the fast-track are not exempted, referring to the rule that once two from the composer are already on THE LIST, then in fact they should have only one representative. Thus, either way, there are too many of them on the list. I don't know how the OP wants to resolve or whether these will be an exception for now.

Would Strauss' 'Eine Alpensinfonie'be considered valid for this contest?  Just asking, I'm Ok with either yes or no.

Rule 4 states: 4.  Tone poems and other orchestral works which the composer did not consider to be a symphony are not eligible.  Thus, while Strauss' s Alpine Symphony can be considered,  Also Sprach Zarathustra can not be.

That is what I thought, so that's why I specifically mentioned the Alpine Symphony.  I did realize that tone poems weren't valid.
