Welcome to the official 1998 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. Ballots in the nominations phase are due by 9:00 PM Pacific time on the 26th. I'll be posting a reminder or two. Rules on voting: Everything released in 1998 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. Compilations are only eligible for the Compilation of the Year category. Please indicate your votes in the form "Artist: Title" where applicable (you may also give them as "Artist: Title (Label)"). Please give the artist name in full - don't write "RDJ" when you mean "Aphex Twin." Please don't put any quotation marks, apostrophes, underscores, or other punctuation around titles. They make sorting (and counting) the votes more difficult. Please give the title as it appears on the release, not a nickname or abbreviation. If no title is given, list it as Untitled. If you feel this may lead to confusion (i.e., the artist in question has released more than one untitled record this year), please also list the label and catalogue number parenthetically. Votes that do not use the official ballot will not be counted! The ballot for nominations follows. Just fill in the blanks, and send it to xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx (please make sure your message has "poll" in the subject line). ----------------------------------------------------------------Cut----- IDM Poll 1998 - Nomination Phase <IDM Album of the Year> (Three equal votes for '98 releases) 1)................... 2)................... 3)................... <IDM Single/EP of the Year> (Three equal votes for '98 releases) 1)................... 2)................... 3)................... <Compilation of the Year> (Vote for compilation released in '98) 1)................... <Chill Out Album of the Year> (Vote for album released in '98) 1)................... <Drum & Bass Album of the Year> (Vote for album released in '98) 1)................... <House or Techno Album of the Year> (Vote for album released in '98) 1)................... <IDM Label of the Year> (For consistent quality in '98) 1)................... <IDM Artist of the Year> (For consistent quality in '98) 1)................... ----------------------------------------------------------------Cut----- Send entries to xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx.
