==The Rules==
+
===Voting over! Thanks for all your votes, look out for the results in a live broadcast on Tuesday 21st January.===
-
 
+
-
*Easy peasy. For each category (except Golden Moments) you get FIVE votes, so you can nominate FIVE shows. Please put each vote on a separate line, it makes it easier for us to count.You can no longer give the same show multiple votes.
+
-
*For most of the categories, your choices are for new formats made and broadcast in the UK in 2019.
+
-
*You do not have to use all your votes.
+
-
*We welcome short comments with your reasoning for your vote – these may be used in the final write-up. We're more likely to use your comments if they are to the point. The comments will be kept anonymous.
+
-
*If you’re in the industry it would be useful to point that out – we absolutely welcome you and you may indeed vote for shows you’ve worked on – but we reserve the right to disqualify insincere dodgy ballots.
+
-
*Time is of the essence, the vote closes '''23:59 Friday 10th January'''.
+
-
 
+
-

*'''Hall of FAME''' – For the best new shows and formats of the last year.

Revision as of 00:01, 11 January 2020

Image:Square Vote.jpg
Does 15 count as a noteworthy thing? No matter, welcome to the 15th annual running of the UKGameshows/Bother's Bar Poll of the Year, this time regarding the year of 2019.

Most of last year's categories are returning, we've decided not to bother with the radio one as, well, the industry hasn't changed much, but we'll take another barometer reading sometime down the road. Also to pre-empt possible questions, no you can't vote for Ben Justice's Top 100 Gameshows series in the New Media Five but it will be getting an acknowledgement in the final write up anyway.

So with that out of the way let the voting... begin!

Voting over! Thanks for all your votes, look out for the results in a live broadcast on Tuesday 21st January.
