Royal Mail Awards - Voting

Voting Deadline: Friday 28th January 2011

Voting in the Royal Mail Awards

Each young judge has one vote for their favourite book! All voting this year will be done online on our website. You must have registered a group to judge the awards in order to access the online voting.

How to vote

Votes can be submitted online through our website by the adult in charge of the reading group in your school/library only. Pupils cannot submit their own votes.

You will need the following information before sending in your votes:

• Your unique voting link, which if you have already registered to take part in the awards we will email to you shortly – this will take you to your unique page on our website where you can submit your pupils’ votes. if you cannot find it please email heather.collins@scottishbooktrust.com to recieve your link. Without it you will NOT be able to vote.
• Your pupils’ total number of votes for each book
• The age category/ies you have judged

Number of pupils involved

When you registered your organisation to take part in the awards, you will have given us an estimate of the number of pupils taking part. You will be allocated one vote per pupil. It is therefore very important that if you have more pupils taking part than you originally thought, you get in touch with us. We’ll amend your registration details accordingly so you are allocated the correct number of votes. Don’t worry if you now have fewer kids taking part – it doesn’t matter if you don’t use up all your votes.

Collecting your pupils' votes

If you would like to run an 'official' ballot in your organisation, a ballot paper will be available to download from this page from 6th May 2009. You can print one off for each of your young judges, ask them to fill it in, collate them and fill in the online form with the results of the ballot.

VERY IMPORTANT!

It's your responsibility to ensure pupils' voting for the awards have read all 3 books in their age group category. 

Remember! Votes MUST reach Scottish Book Trust by 28th January 2011 to be included in the final count!
