(*Please note that these are new additions to the ballot, introduced because one of the hosts' nominees in the "Limited Series" category, Supreme: Blue Rose, did not conclude in 2014! Therefore the next runners-up in the listener voting, a two-way tie, have been substituted.)


Now's your chance to vote for the award winners! Submit your ballots via e-mail to bestof@comicgeekspeak.com, anytime before 11:59 pm (EST) on Sunday, March 1. Please vote for only ONE candidate in each category; no dual votes or "ties" allowed! Also, please vote in every category, if possible. Ballots containing votes in fewer than 12 of the 16 categories will be considered incomplete and disqualified! May the best comics/creators/etc. win!!
