[h2]Where do I vote!?[/h2]

Voting is done via this Google Form! (We do not track emails or google accounts!)

Voting concludes at 2pm CET on Monday December 13th.


[h2]How the Voting works[/h2]
Voting is simple. You have a total of three votes, each with a different weight.
Each entry can receive one of your votes max, and each weight of vote (5, 3, 1 points) can only be given once.

The winner will be determined by the total amount of points every entry got. In case of a tie, we will compare who has more 5 point votes (3 point votes if those tie as well, and 1 point votes if THOSE tie as well). Should both entries receive the same amount of votes of each weight, they will share the tied place.
