GutterAlley.com » Voting: Season Favorites

As the season officially comes to an end this next week, we felt it only right that we have one last run down Memory Lane, ala NBA style categories and balloting.

Below you will be presented with various categories and nominees. Everyone is up for something so make your votes count! First place choices will receive 5 points, second place choices will receive 3 points, and third place choices will receive one point.

Votes for the same person within the same category will NOT be counted at all. You hear that, Kinney?

Nominees are listed alphabetically by their first name. Votes MUST be in by noon of Monday, May 13.

The winners will be announced at the Fun Night celebration when we hand out the money and then the following day on the Web site. See you then! Feel free to check out last year's winners.

(NOTE: BALLOTS RECEIVED AFTER NOON ON MAY 13 WILL NOT BE COUNTED.)

PLEASE LOG IN IN THE RIGHT-HAND COLUMN BEFORE MAKING YOUR VOTING SELECTIONS.
