Well, December has arrived once again, and it's time to summon praise for the best of 1997. You can vote for your favorite CD release, composer, and score as heard in a film this year. Rules and info about this vote:

• The vote starts November 30th, 1997 and will conclude January 30th, 1998.
  
• You can vote once a month (twice total) from a unique server address.
  
• Votes are casually monitored to filter out ridiculous entries. Repeat voters (people who vote multiple times in the same minute/hour/day) will be blocked. Bounty hunters will be dispatched to seek them.
  
• Names and titles will be verified. Votes for 1996 or 1998 scores will be deleted.
• Hint: You might want to save your vote(s) until all the December scores are out!
• If you want to choose the Star Wars Special Editions, you must choose one of the three 2-CD releases (Star Wars, Empire, or Jedi).
• You can view the final 1996 results on their own '96 Voting Results page.

  
  Note: Due to certain visitors (I've isolated five or six of them) voting "Titanic, Horner, Titanic" multiple times over the two months of voting, I restricted the number of these that were considered valid.
