All you have to do to vote is either, fill in the form on the Atari Times Homepage (http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/polonowski), email your votes on the categories below to polonowski[-At-]zetnet.co.uk, or write them clearly on a piece of paper and send them to 1997 Atari Times Awards, c/o Colin Polonowski, The Croft, Hope Rd, Nibley, Nr Yate, Bristol, BS37 5JH.

The biggest award is the ’Special award for services to the Atari community’. Before voting on this we think you should consider your answer very carefully.

Voting will end on the 1st December 1997 so make sure you’ve made your contribution to the final results. The December issue of the Atari Times (UK) will be the first publication to print the results. After this a few other atari magazines will be given access to the results for possible publication. If you wish to print the results in your publication then email Colin Polonowski at the address above.

The final results will also be made available on the Atari Times Homepage as soon as they have been confirmed, even if this is before the release of the December Atari Times.

That’s all you need to know, so go on and get voting...
