Voting has now closed.

The Poll is simple - fans are asked to vote for their favorite young male performers based on their work during the year 2007. There are some rules for voting, so please make sure you read and follow those rules so you will have a valid ballot.

Best of luck to all the nominees, and many thanks for enriching our lives in 2007. We look forward to many more wonderful performances in 2008.

The 2007 AFTI Poll Committee: Chris P., Duncan, Likem, Mediajock, Mark L, and Zabladowski.

Rules

• To be an eligible nominee for the 2007 AFTI Poll, the performer must have been:
  1. a part of a production (either in the movies, TV, music or theatre) that had first run original status in any part of 2007, and
  2. 17 years of age or younger in any part of 2007.
• Fans should submit 5 performers' (or fewer) names from the list of nominees to the email address available when voting commences. Voters are encouraged to vote for the performers who they feel made the most significant impact in the media in 2007 by way of outstanding performances, significant contributions, and other brilliant and memorable achievements. Please feel free to vote for whomever you choose, but note that the AFTI Poll is not a popularity or "beauty contest", but is rather a Poll to help determine the performer who is most deserving of this honor based on his talents and accomplishments, as voted by you, the fans.
• All ballots must be sent from a valid email address.
• When voting, list your top five choices from the list of nominees below, making note of your #1 choice, #2 choice, and so on. Please make your choice obvious as to your #1 choice, #2 choice, all the way to your #5 choice. You may not vote for the same star more than once; such ballots will be discarded and the star will receive no points. Ballots with more than 5 choices will be sent back untabulated for prioritization.
• Your choices will receive points as follows:
  your #1 choice will be assigned 5 points,
  your #2 choice will be assigned 4 points,
  your #3 choice will be assigned 3 points,
  your #4 choice will be assigned 2 points,
  your #5 choice will be assigned 1 point.
  Sample Ballot:
  #1, Frankie Berfield, 5 points
  #2, Billy Carter, 4 points
  #3, Jesse Gilman, 3 points
  #4, Justin McCartney, 2 points
  #5, Aaron Muniz, 1 point.
  Fewer than 5 votes will be weighted less - the number of names you submit will be the point value of your #1 vote and it will count down from there.
• Votes with performers' names deemed ineligible will be sent back once to be modified.
• Everyone may vote only once. Please be fair and vote only one time. We will be taking extreme measures to detect anyone, or organized campaigns, attempting to "stuff the ballot-box". If an individual is believed to be voting more than once or involved with a campaign intended to "stuff the ballot-box", all votes from that user will be discarded.
• In the event that two or more performers are tied for 1st place because they accumulated the same number of points at the Poll's end, the tie will be broken based on the following:
  1. The performer with the most overall votes will be declared the winner.
  2. If the performers are still tied after applying tie-breaker 1 above, the performer who accumulated the most 1st place votes will be declared the winner.
  3. If the performers are still tied after applying tie-breakers 1 & 2 above, a tie for 1st place will be declared.
  4. A tie for any other position in the Poll than 1st place will remain a tie; no tie-breaking criteria will be applied.
• The Committee's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. Results will be published shortly after the Poll closes, once all votes have been counted and validated.
