| | | | |
| - | ==The Rules== | + | ==Voting over!== |
| | | | |
| - | *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.
| + | Thanks for all your votes! Look out for the results in the next few weeks! |
| - | *For most of the categories, your choices are for new formats made and broadcast in the UK in 2024.
| + | |
| - | *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 Sunday 12th January'''.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==The Categories==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | *'''Hall of FAME''' – For the best gameshows, competitive reality and panel games first broadcast on linear TV (or radio) in the UK in 2024.
| + | |
| - | *'''Hall of SHAME''' – For the worst gameshows, competitive reality and panel games first broadcast on linear TV (or radio) in the UK in 2024.
| + | |
| - | *'''Golden Five''' – For any shows made primarily for the UK market that had a new first-run episode broadcast in 2024.
| + | |
| - | *'''Streaming Five''' - Must be gameshow or gameshow related, must be either from a subscription streaming service (i.e. Netflix, Amazon, Nebula etc), a channel's online offering not destined for broadcast television, or if it's on Youtube (or equivalent) backed professionally or at the very least a legitimately returnable format. Cannot be a Twitch Stream. Cannot be a broadcast radio show as its own podcast, vote for them in the Golden Five. Does not have to be made in the UK, but does need to be able to be watched here a) legitimately and b) earlier or at the same time as the rest of the world. Must have new episodes out in 2024.
| + | |
| - | *'''Magic Moments''' – For your favourite moments. If there are Youtube links, that would be handy.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | A non-exhaustive list of new formats can be found below - if you think we're missing anything then get in touch. We give shiny floor show and competitive unscripted reality equal weight. You can vote for revivals.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==How to vote==
| + | |
| - | | + | |

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | However we also accept e-mail ballots, please send them to [mailto:poll@bothersbar.co.uk poll@bothersbar.co.uk] with '''Poll of the Year 2024''' in the subject line and they'll get to the same place.
| + | |

| - | A list of new formats for 2024 follows. Please be aware that it may not be exhaustive, and that it mainly focusses on formats on broadcast television. We've stripped out streamed formats from the list to focus on linear broadcast, but you're welcome to look at the unedited list in [[New Shows]].

20. Twenty. The Big Two Oh. The end of 2024 marks our twentieth running of The UKGameshows/
Poll of the Year and we can't wait to see what you, the titans of the British format industry and the viewers thought of it all.
It's extremely sad that the list of new competitive unscripted formats on broadcast television in 2024 is so small, but we can only work with what we're given - on the brighter side we know there are some interesting shows to come in 2025, hopefully not a shorter list still.
