Introduction:
Welcome to the Hack of the Year competition for 2014! Each year we celebrate some of the greatest hacks on PokéCommunity by voting for them in several different categories and eventually bestowing the Hack of the Year title on the best of the best. The hard work, effort, devotion and even love that hackers have put into their works throughout the year show their results here.This year's competition will continue on from last years with having a secret ballot. The account is different this year and is just one of my old alts from a few years ago, the link to PM the account will be down below. We'll have the nomination process open for one month. We will also return to having 3 separate rounds, as previously seen when I ran the competition before.
Rules:
- You may not vote for your own hack
- You may not vote for any of the designated ineligible hacks (see below)
- You may only vote once per category

- Hacks are only eligible if they have been worked on at some point during 2014

Voting:
This year we have decided to implement a secret ballot system. In order to place your vote, you will have to fill out the form below and PM it to the Hack of the Year account. If you wish to change your vote please PM a second voting form to the account. If your vote is determined to be invalid then you will be contacted by a moderator and asked to fill out a second voting form. When the voting window closes, no more nominations will be accepted and all valid votes will be counted.If you vote for a hack which was not worked on at some point during the past year (See rule 6) you will be contacted and asked to submit a new voting form.
If you have any questions, please PM me or one of the other mods rather than the voting account and we will attempt to reply as soon as possible.
Once again, PM your votes here.

A hack gets one point for every category in which you vote for it. To demonstrate this, here is an example of a vote:
Example Vote said:
In this demonstration, Prism has three votes while Genesis, Liquid Ocean, Sienna, Ice and Life of Guardians hold one vote each.
The five hacks which have the most votes overall, regardless of the categories in which the votes are allocated, will progress to the second round where there will be a straight out voting process with the top 3 progressing to judge voting from there. In addition, the hack which has the most votes in a single category for this initial round will be awarded with a corresponding title (e.g. Best Mapping). The Sideshow Showcase Hack of the Year award will be determined in this nomination round and will not be subject to a judging second round. Hacks that have won Hack of the Month in 2014 are also awarded 3 additional votes.
You have until the 31st October to submit your votes. So now all of that is sorted, let the voting begin!
Reminder: PM your votes to this account.
