Here's the first repost of the final ballot, with the mortifying typo in
the Artists section fixed. Response has been good so far - I've been getting
quite a few ballots from people who didn't vote in the first phase, which
is great!
-
Welcome to the official 1996 IDM Poll, part two. This is the final phase
of voting. I'll take votes for 10 days, so your ballots are due by noon
Pacific time on the 31st. If you voted in the first phase, your votes do
not carry over into this phase (there is one exception, he knows who he
is). Please don't repost this to the list; I'll be reposting the ballot with
reminders once or twice. As promised, the nominees in each category are based
on the results of the first phase of the poll. Categories with more than five
nominees had ties after the first phase.
When voting, delete the nominees you aren't voting for. If you don't wish
to vote in a category, delete everything but the "No Vote" line. Unlike
the nominations phase, each voter gets ONE vote in every category. If
you leave more than one nominee on your ballot in a category, I'll interpret
that as a "No Vote" in that category.
I'll be on holiday from the 24th until the 28th. I won't be checking mail
while I'm away.
This year's poll has a sponsor. Modern Music (www.modernmusic.com) will be
offering a $50 gift certificate in a random drawing of all ballots I receive.
If you vote in both phases, you double your chances of winning!
The final ballot for nominations follows. Please send it to
cspot@hyperreal.com. (Please make sure your message has "poll" in the subject
line.)
