Filmtracks Awards: 2009
Decorative Nonsense
The Filmtracks Community Awards are conducted in the first two months of every year at the Scoreboard Forum. Any participant can provide their top ten score choices and a top composer choice of the previous year for tabulation. Visit the forum for announcements during that time.

The "Top Score" category uses a point system for its ranking, providing extra weight to a first-place vote. For instance, a participant's top score receives 12 points, while the second-place vote receives 9 points, the third-place vote receives 8 points, etc. The "Top Composer" category uses a straight single vote per user tally.

In the event of a tie in the "Top Score" category, the score with the greater number of first-place votes, if applicable, will be ranked in the higher position. Ties in the "Top Composer" category are broken by awarding the higher rank to the composer with the most points in the "Top Score" category.
The voting period for this year was open from December 23, 2009 to January 1, 2010. The total number of participants was 23.
