Speaking of tedious, 2013 was the year that Channel 4 brought us [[Face the Clock]]. But don't fret, because there was some good stuff too (wasn't there?) and besides, we've got the small matter of the wooden spoon to award.

'''The polls open soon''', so get your thinking caps on. Like last year we're interested in Best New Shows, Worst New Shows, Best Show generally, your favourite moments and anything that excited you internationally. We treat traditional games and quizzes and reality games equally here.

This year we are dedicating the awards to the memory of the late Travis Penery who sadly passed away last month. A very knowledgeable man whose comments have featured in all the previous years we've featured reader comments and will be missed this year.

The first three categories all work in the same way:
 +
 +
* In each category you have five votes.
 +
* You may use up to '''two''' votes for a single show if you feel particularly strongly about something. If you do want to vote for the same show multiple times, please put each vote on a seperate line as it make it clearer for counting. You do not have to use all your votes.
 +
* You are invited, but not obliged, to leave supporting comments. You will have more chance of being used in the final write-up if you get to the point.
 +
* You are not required to vote in every category, and you are not required to use all your votes in each category.
 +

A list of all the shows we believe eligible can be found below, but if you think we've missed something then please let us know. You are free to vote for remakes.

== The Categories ==
 +
 +
*'''The Hall of Fame''' - New UK shows for 2013 you really liked.
 +
*'''The Hall of Shame''' - New UK shows for 2013 you really disliked.
 +
*'''The UKGameshows.com Golden Five''' - You can vote for any UK show where at least one new episode was broadcast during 2013.
 +
*'''Best International Show''' - What were your favourite non-UK shows of 2013? We will give emphasis to shows that were new in 2013 although you are not limited to this. This one is for our international friends, although anyone with knowledge may vote. This is more of a freestyle category but to keep it focused please don't put down more than five shows.
 +
* Finally we're interested in what your favourite UK gameshow-y moment of 2013 was. This one is not a popularity contest particularly, we will use the more interesting comments and moments.

What, has someone gone and changed the year number again? How tedious.

Speaking of tedious, 2013 was the year that Channel 4 brought us Face the Clock. But don't fret, because there was some good stuff too (wasn't there?) and besides, we've got the small matter of the wooden spoon to award.

The polls are now open, so get your thinking caps on. Like last year we're interested in Best New Shows, Worst New Shows, Best Show generally, your favourite moments and anything that excited you internationally. We treat traditional games and quizzes and reality games equally here.

This year we are dedicating the awards to the memory of the late Travis Penery who sadly passed away last month. A very knowledgeable man whose comments have featured in all the previous years we've featured reader comments and will be missed this year.
