Question: Are the polls the determining factor on who will win the Branson Critic Awards? -Dave

Answer: No Dave. Remember, that the polls are the smallest factor to a person winning. We call it the "possible tie-breaker." Reviews are worth the most points and they will make all the difference in who wins. Example: Let's say Entertainer A is doing incredible in the polls but has few reviews, while Entertainer B has many reviews, but is behind or has a modest showing in the polls. Who do you think will win? The Entertainer who has many reviews will most likely win. Thoughtful comments at getawaysaver.com along with reviews helped us to shape the polls. We prefer that people 'write' about who should win and why, rather that just click the polls. So, without a doubt, fans who participate in the polls only need to understand that their efforts may be in vain if they don't write any reviews for a particular entertainer's show.

Information on how the winners will be chosen:

It's all about the reviews! Reviews submitted to Branson Critic count for the most points, followed by comments at www.GetawaySaver.com's show forum, which shaped the current polls, followed by editors' choice.

We encourage you to submit a review on your favorite show(s) and performer(s) to Branson Critic. Over 40,000 regular visitors have expressed appreciation when it comes to your thoughtful reviews. Your reviews and pictures carry greater weight when the 2005 choices are made. A show with no reviews will not be nominated.
Comments on the show/performer you believe should win are also appreciated, especially by those involved in Award decisions. This year we ask you go to getawaysaver.com and submit your comments.
To vote in the web polls; we will combine the comments and reviews along with editor input.
