The Tomstardis Awards are back for the ninth year and they are bigger than ever. I think its fair to say that this year has been a stellar year for Big Finish who have added new series ranges such as Torchwood and UNIT. There have also been new series such as The Third Doctor Adventures and Doom Coalition.
There are about 50 categories this year to vote for. The ranges to vote for are as follows; The Main Range, Short Trips, Jago and Litefoot, Dark Eyes, Fourth Doctor, Novel Adaptions, Avengers, Companion Chronicles, UNIT, The Early Adventures, Torchwood, Counter Measures, New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield, Survivors and The War Doctor.
There is one category that isn't voted for is the Special Recognition Award and in the past it has gone to such people as Gary Russell, Simon Guerrier and Lisa Bowerman. This year it goes to Louise Jameson who has written, directed and starred in several Big Finish plays over the years and find herself nominated in Favourite Writer, Director and Companion categories so it could be a big year for her.
Voting is open now and will remain open until Sunday 10th January at 6pm GMT. I will post updates at regular intervals.
To vote, click here.
Before I finish I just want to say thankyou in advance and if there are any errors then you can let me know here or on twitter tomstardis |

Why are Avengers and Survivors included but not other Worlds of Big Finish ranges?
For example Dorian Gray had 8 new stories released in November and the 2 upcoming Christmas stories in December.
I'm a big fan so sad to see it not included.
I am sure others on here can point out other series released in 2015 that it would be nice to see included

The favorite Fourth Doctor Adventures poll is rather superfluous, all the options are for Nick Briggs! The options for each poll could be better done, with each individual only mentioned once instead of for each story they contributed to in that selection. A good example is the one I've just mentioned.

to me the hardest part (other than the sheer number of releases I am yet to listen to) is deciding which of the 8 4th Doctor adventures I listened to months ago was directed best by Nick Briggs while being distracted by the confusion over the exclusion of 6th Doctor: The Last Adventure from the awards
