It has reached that point of the year where the 2011-12 television season is winding to a close and the fans of STV get to join in our major summer competition where we aim to find what are the favourite series of the past and the present.
For anyone new to the competition, the rules at this stage are simple. We are looking for 64 TV series, 32 current and 32 finished which will enter a knockout competition where you, the fans, will vote for your favourites, debate, argue and join together to find the STV favourite TV series of 2012.
Today all you need to do is enter your two favourite current TV series and your two favourite finished TV series into the Google Document below. The 32 most popular finished and current TV series make the competition continue, all other shows exit. You need to spread the word as much as you can to get fans of your favourites to nominate. Otherwise, it could be over before it really begins.
Here's the kicker. A Current TV Series is one which ran in the 2011-12 TV season. Therefore any show with any new episode from September 2011 onwards is classed as current. Anything that ended before September 2011 is a finished show. Therefore Terra Nova would get a current nomination, whilst Smallville would now be a finished show. This is important, as any show wrongly nominated will lose that nomination.

Once the votes are counted, the competition takes a whole new angle, as you predict the winners of each knockout round and stand the chance to win a fantastic prize. But that is for another day...
Supernatural has won twice in a row, but was pushed all the way to the line by Fringe in last years final, and with Supernatural entering its 8th season in the fall and other hot newer shows such as Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and Person of Interest building large fan bases on STV it is all to play for.
So, good luck to everyone. Regardless of the winners and losers of the past two years I've had a lot of fun discussing TV series and being part of the STV community.
Let the nomination stage, BEGIN!
Don't forget to tweet out the word to people so they can also get in their nominations.
The nomination stage ends on Sunday 20th of May, so you have just over a week to enter.
Finally I'd like to say many apologies for my absence from the website for the past few months, but it has been a very busy and changing time and I haven't had a second to put my mind into much. Adam's TV Teasers will return in the fall, so look out for that. You can always find me on the STV Podcast, which if you haven't checked out yet you really should.
