Last year was a record breaking year in terms of votes, let's see if we can beat that again!

The Rules
- 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 2021.
- 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.
- Compilation shows and streams - for the avoidance of doubt, the "banner" is the format not the individual shows, see Gameshow Marathon previously.
- Time is of the essence, the vote closes 23:59 Sunday 9th January.
The categories
- Hall of FAME – For the best new shows and formats of the last year.
- Hall of SHAME – For the worst new shows and formats of the last year.
- Golden Five – For any shows made primarily for the UK market that had a new first-run episode broadcast in 2021.
- New Media Five - This is for shows that do not have a traditional first run on television or national radio - Podcasts, Youtube, Netflix and the like. There must have been a new episode uploaded in 2021. It must be *legitimately* consumable in the UK. It must not have been on broadcast television anywhere previously. Podcasts that are just a radio show must feature significant extra content.
- 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
This year the preferred method is by Google Forms. This allows you to fill it in over a number of sessions and change or modify your votes up until the deadline.
However we also accept e-mail ballots, please send them to poll@bothersbar.co.uk with Poll of the Year 2021 in the subject line and they'll get to the same place.
