Welcome to the official 1997 IDM Poll! Please read over the following
before you vote.
Voting is divided into two phases: nominations and final voting. Anyone who
wishes to may vote in either phase - preferably both! In the nomination
phase of voting, voters may vote for whatever they wish. Final voting will
be limited in each category among the 5 most popular nominees from the
first phase. I'll take votes in each phase for 10 days, so ballots in the
nominations phase are due by 2:00 PM Pacific time on the 20th. I'll be
reposting this on or around the 15th for those that may miss this message.
Rules on voting: Everything released in 1997 is eligible. If you vote for
something released before this year, I'll ignore that vote; the rest of
your ballot will still be counted, of course. Any full-length release with
tracks all by a single artist under the same name is an album.
Please indicate your votes in the form "Artist: Title" where applicable and
do not abbreviate. Votes that do not follow this format or use the official
ballot will not be counted.
The ballot for nominations follows. Just fill in the blanks, and send it to
cspot@hyperreal.org (please make sure your message has "poll" in the
subject line).
