The time has come once again as we stand on the cusp of the epic Performer of the Year contest. We just have to crown one final set of Performers of the Month. Traditionally December has always been a slower month, and that mostly remains true. However, thanks to the existence of streaming, the traditional network lull around this time of year does not equate to less quality television. In fact, this month produced an overabundance of exceptional performances, so this could be a very interesting round. Be sure to take some time to place your nominations and spread the word to help the performers you think delivered the best performances in December have a chance at reaching the voting round.
To accommodate the start of Performer of the Year the dates of this round of POTM will be a bit different than usual. This Nomination round will end a day early on January 3rd and voting will start on January 4th and conclude on January 6th. The winners will be announced on January 7th. Performer of the Year voting will start on January 8th.

Please note that a performer can now only win once per year and a show can only be represented by two winners per year. No exceptions will be made for any performer or show, so please use thoughtful consideration when making your nominations. You will have to fill out the submission form for each nominee you submit. You can submit the document up to 5 times, but each entry must be for a different performer or all of your other nominations will be disqualified. The Top 5 most nominated actresses and Top 5 actors will be placed in the poll next week to determine the Readers' Choice Performer of the Month.
After you place your nominations take a moment to use the comments section to discuss your nominees with others. Episode number for the nominees is critically important, so discuss with others why you think a performer deserves to be recognized for a specific performance within a single episode.
Nominations will run until January 3rd at 6 pm ET. The poll will post on January 4th at 6 pm ET.
Enter the episode number as 101 or 1.01. Either will work on the form and both will be accepted.

Please take note that any performer that won earlier in the year is no longer eligible for the rest of 2021, so please take note of the above list of winners before placing your nominations. Also of note, Station 19 has already had two winners recognized in this 2021 cycle of POTM, so nobody else from the cast will be eligible again until the 2022 cycle begins in February. Danielle Savre and Stefania Spampinato will have another chance at recognition during the Performer of the Year contest which will take place in January. Any nominations placed for anyone who has already won in 2021 or any cast member of Station 19 will be immediately discarded.
