Superlatives ballot
Everyone writes one name per category for yearbook or office superlatives.
What's inside
Voters who have a category you missed write it with their pick, which often becomes next year's favorite category.
- 1Your name
- 2Most likely to succeed
- 3Best laugh
- 4Most likely to be late to graduation
- 5Most likely to be famous
- 6Best duo
- 7Got a category we missed?YesNo
- 8Your category and your pickOnly if “Got a category we missed?” is Yes
Running superlatives people enjoy
Keep every category kind. "Best laugh" and "Most likely to be famous" get votes; a category that can hurt someone gets a complaint.
Votes are typed names, so spellings vary. Sort the export by category and merge "Sam O." with "Sam Ortiz" before you count.
Give the vote one week and a firm deadline. Yearbook pages go to print on a date, and a late ballot cannot be counted.
Superlatives questions
Can I give voters a list of names to pick from?
Yes. Change each category to a dropdown with your class or team list. Picks are then spelled the same, which makes counting faster, but write-ins are lost. Paste the same list into each category's dropdown. Keep the Got a category we missed question as a typed answer, since it is the one place a free pick still helps.
Can I use it for office awards?
Yes. Rename the categories, such as "Best desk plant" or "Most likely to reply all", and the title. The write-in category works the same way. Keep it to five or six categories, so the vote takes about two minutes. Announce the winners at a team lunch or the holiday party, with a small printed certificate for each.
Should votes be anonymous?
This ballot asks each voter's name, so you can keep it to one ballot each. If you prefer anonymous votes, delete the name question and accept a few duplicates. The export shows each voter's name next to their picks, so keep it within the yearbook team. Say that in the intro, so students vote freely.
