-
'''The polls are now open!''' Like last year we're interested in Best New Shows, Worst New Shows, Best Show generally, your favourite moments and anything that excited you internationally. We treat traditional games and quizzes and reality games equally here.
+
'''The polls are now closed!'''  
-
We've changed the voting methodology '''slightly''' this year, you can still weigh the vote but you're limited to giving a show '''two''' votes rather than three as in previous years. We hope this encourages you to consider more shows, and should make it more exciting whilst still letting you exercise some power.
+
We'd like to thank everyont for contributing for towards a record amount of ballots this year. Look out for the results in the next few days!

== Instructions ==
+
-
 
+
-
The first three categories all work in the same way:
+
-
 
+
-
* In each category you have five votes.
+
-
* You may use up to '''two''' votes for a single show if you feel particularly strongly about something. If you do want to vote for the same show multiple times, please put each vote on a seperate line as it make it clearer for counting. You do not have to use all your votes.
+
-
* You are invited, but not obliged, to leave supporting comments. You will have more chance of being used in the final write-up if you get to the point.
+
-
* You are not required to vote in every category, and you are not required to use all your votes in each category.
+
-
 
+
-
A list of all the shows we believe eligible can be found below, but if you think we've missed something then please let us know. You are free to vote for remakes.
+
-
 
+
-
== The Categories ==
+
-
 
+
-
*'''The Hall of Fame''' - New UK shows for 2012 you really liked.
+
-
*'''The Hall of Shame''' - New UK shows for 2012 you really disliked.
+
-
*'''The UKGameshows.com Golden Five''' - You can vote for any UK show where at least one new episode was broadcast during 2012.
+
-
*'''Best International Show''' - What were your favourite non-UK shows of 2012? We will give emphasis to shows that were new in 2012 although you are not limited to this. This one is for our international friends, although anyone with knowledge may vote. This is more of a freestyle category this year but to keep it focused please don't put down more than five shows.
+
-
* Finally we're interested in what your favourite UK gameshow-y moment of 2012 was. This one is not a popularity contest particularly, we will use the more interesting comments and moments.
+

Good. There are two ways you can vote. You can send an e-mail to [mailto:poll2012@ukgameshows.com poll2012@ukgameshows.com] or (preferred) you can use the [http://www.bothersbar.co.uk/?page_id=6740 form set up at Bother's Bar]. Just one form per person please, and we reserve the right to exclude dodgy looking voting slips. Members of production companies are advised to reveal their affiliation.
+
-
 
+
-
And don't hang around, the polls close 11pm Friday 11th January 2012. Do not vote after that time as your votes will not count but you may still be charged. Look out for the results soon after. Thanks for your time!

Revision as of 23:13, 11 January 2013

Image:Square Vote.jpg
Unbelieveably despite wind, rain and financial crashes the world did not end in 2012. But something the Mayans did predict correctly is that once again UKGameshows.com and Bother's Bar would be doing another of its polls of the year just gone. What new shows did you like? Which ones weren't you so fond of? We'd like to know.

The polls are now closed!

We'd like to thank everyont for contributing for towards a record amount of ballots this year. Look out for the results in the next few days!
