About Ballot and Prize

Ballotandprize is a reference website for readers in Europe who follow major awards. It provides factual coverage of award bodies, their nomination ballots, and their ceremony dates. The site is organised by concept, with sections dedicated to awards in film, television, music, books and ideas, and other fields. Further sections cover the broader awards season, news, lists of winners and nominees, practical guides on how to watch ceremonies, and details about the nominated works themselves.

All news stories on ballotandprize are produced from verifiable sources. Each article is rewritten from original reporting by named publications, which are linked within the text. Where possible, facts are checked against multiple sources to ensure accuracy. Every published story carries a clear date, and no original reporting or invented information is included. The focus is on clear summarisation of developments related to awards, their processes, and their outcomes.

The site builds permanent reference pages for key elements of the awards landscape. These include pages for each award body, specific ceremony editions, award categories, relevant people, nominated works, event venues, and judging juries. Each reference entry is built around a standardised table of key facts. It is divided into logical sections and is illustrated with at least one real photograph, which is always credited to its source. These pages are updated as new information becomes available, such as when new winners are announced or future dates are confirmed.

Ballotandprize is editorially independent and is not affiliated with any award organisation, broadcaster, or studio that it covers. You will find no sponsored content or advertising related to betting or gambling on the site. Should an error be published, a correction is made promptly and a record of it is maintained openly at the site’s dedicated corrections page.

For any queries or to suggest a correction, please use the contact page. Ballotandprize aims to be a straightforward and reliable resource for understanding the structure and outcomes of awards.
