Voting
terms
Voting is free and opens on 19 August 2026, closing on 16 September 2026.
One person, one vote
One registration gives one vote in each category. Your email address must be verified before your votes count — this is what stops the vote being flooded with addresses that do not exist.
You do not have to vote in every category. One category or all of them, it makes no difference to your entry in the prize draw.
How the winners are decided
The Grand Jury decides who is nominated. The public vote decides who wins, except where a category is stated to be selected by the Grand Jury or by DJs.
For Track of the Last 25 Years, entries are submitted by the public, grouped into a shortlist of ten, and the Grand Jury selects the winner from that shortlist.
Fair voting
We use technical measures to detect duplicate and automated voting. Votes we reasonably believe to be duplicated or automated are removed. Our decision on the validity of a vote is final.
Results
Results are announced at the ceremony on 7 October 2026.
