Please note that a performer can now only win once per year and a show can only be represented by two winners per year. No exceptions will be made for any performer or show, so please use thoughtful consideration when making your nominations. You will have to fill out the submission form for each nominee you submit. You can submit the document up to 5 times, but each entry must be for a different performer or all of your other nominations will be disqualified. The Top 5 most nominated actresses and Top 5 actors will be placed in the poll next week to determine the Readers’ Choice Performer of the Month.

After you place your nominations take a moment to use the comments section to discuss your nominees with others. Episode number for the nominees is critically important, so discuss with others why you think a performer deserves to be recognized for a certain performance.

With Tori Anderson winning in March and Yasmine Al-Bustami’s win in May, NCIS: Hawai’i performers will not be eligible for the rest of 2022. The eligibility for the show’s performers will resume starting with the first round in 2023. Both actresses will have one additional chance to win during the 2022 Performer of the Year competition. 

Given the unusual way Stranger Things was released I wanted to make sure it was clear the eligibility of the episodes. The performances in the episodes released in May were eligible for the May and June rounds. The two episodes that were released on July 1st will be eligible for the July round. Since Sadie Sink has already won then if any other performer wins the series eligibility ends for the year.

Nominations will run until September 3rd at 6 pm ET. The poll will post on September 4th at 6 pm ET.

Please take note that any performer that won earlier in the year is no longer eligible for the rest of 2022, so please take note of the above list of winners before placing your nominations.
