As part of our overall effort to assist and promote writers, we are proud to conduct the annual Preditors & Editors Readers Poll. We hope that this small effort helps all publishers and writers on the Internet to thrive in what is still viewed as a highly experimental and strongly competitive environment.

The Rules:

• Anyone can vote. Voting commences 1 January. The voting form and weekly results are farther down on this page. Please remember that you can nominate a new entry in any category simply by voting for them in the write-in box.

• Anything that fits one of this year's categories that was published in the previous year by any publisher with an open submissions policy is eligible for nomination. Publishing within a forum or chat room does not constitute publishing by the rules of this contest. Such entries will be removed and their votes will be lost.

• Names and email addresses will not be kept after this poll is over. Nor will those be given to anyone for use in a mailing list. See prizes for reason that these are needed.

• All prizes may not be awarded. In the event that a false email vote was selected as a winner, no further drawing is possible because all email addresses are discarded in accordance with Reader Poll rules.

• All nominations/votes are subject to verification.

• The Readers Poll ends midnight of 15 January (GMT). Readers Poll Awards will be announced in February.

The Prizes:

• Prizes for randomly selected voters may consist of small cash prizes, books, subscriptions, t-shirts, and so forth. Please visit the sponsors to see what each offers. This is subject to change as more sponsors join in.

• The entry with the most votes in each category will receive a beautiful customized GIF award similar to the one below.
