Conversation Street Awards 2013 Nominations

We've nearly reached the end of 2013, and what a year it's been! Just like last year, we're planning to record a special episode of the podcast in late December / early January that will look at the past twelve months in Weatherfield, and make some predictions for the year ahead. The episode will also see the return of our Conversation Street Awards, where we decide which characters and storylines have been most worthy of praise in 2013. The five nominations for each award can be found below.

Although we will be making the final decision about the overall winners, we'd really love to hear which nominee you think deserves each award.  If, for any awards, we cannot come to an agreement about which nominee should win, we'll go with your choice, so don't think that your vote counts for nothing!

You select your winners for the first six categories by following this link, and the voting for the final five awards will be open in a week's time. Now get voting!
