How to vote

Simply click on the link for the nomination
page
, where this years major nominees are listed and you can nominate in the relevant forum for the Peta's. Following the success of last years nominations and secret ballot we've kept the voting system the same. But pay attention at the back there!!!!

There will be two stages to voting.

  • In January you will be given the chance to nominate your three
    favourite contenders for each of the categories. From this I will draw a
    list of the top five for each category on the 30th January or as close thereafter that I have internet access. This year if there are less than five nominees in a category I will at my discretion make up a list of contenders worthy of inclusion.

  • February the Nominations will be posted and you get a final
    Single vote in each category so that we can announce the winners in
    the Post following the Oscars announced on 27th February, therefore the 3rd March is Peta day.

Any questions, shout.
