Here's my ballot for Mike D'Angelo's 2002 Skandies Awards. Like the VillageVoice's venerable "Pazz 'n' Jop" music poll, voters allot exactly 100 points to 10 choices in each category, giving between 5 and 30 ponts to each entry. Results of the poll will be available in mid-February on Alex Fung's site.

The ballot was due before I had a chance to see likely contenders Morvern Callar, All or Nothing, and The Quiet American.
