Clear statements with superlative elections and votings

The superlative indicates that a thing, person or object has the highest possible level of a property or characteristic compared to other things.
In an online superlative election or vote, participants choose their favorite – or one favorite per category. And they do so with a clear statement. They have to decide which option, image or person they consider best.
If you are using our Poll Maker to let people vote in different categories, your categories should also be named in the superlative. For example, a Halloween costume photo contest could consist of the following categories: Most Creative, funniest, scariest, bloodiest, or best team outfit, etc.
You can specify our new voting type in the basic settings (step 1) when creating your PollUnit. Besides the "Superlative Voting" you will find many other vote types. Try it out right away, the basic functions are for free!

Impress your audience with ...Let the dice decide: pick random winners
Usually, online voting is about collecting votes, preventing fraud, and finally awarding the options with the most votes and selecting them as winners. However, in some cases, random voting is also useful.
This includes all kinds of fun contests such as a photo contest among friends and colleagues. However, an additional and random draw can also encourage participation. In stalemate situations, i.e. in case of a tie or very close voting results, it can help to let chance decide.
When closing your PollUnit you can now draw random winners or results. The decision is made by a random algorithm.

Photo contest with categories

Is it all a matter of taste? One and the same photo can please one viewer and not the other. Moreover, the perception of quality depends on the experience, knowledge and culture of the viewer. So how can you objectively evaluate photos and learn something from these evaluations?
Voting categories help to define evaluation criteria. Popular criteria in photo clubs for image review or image judging are, for example, shooting and editing technique, image composition and design, image message and motif. With these or similar categories, a fairer and more objective judgment can be formed when analyzing the images. Once the jurors have evaluated all the images in the categories, the votes are combined.
This has advantages for the jurors as well as for the photographers. It is easier for the jurors to make a well-founded judgment than if they make their overall impression the basis of their evaluation. The photographers get a more precise analysis and can recognize weak points in their work and learn from it.
For this reason it is now possible to create rating criteria or voting categories in PollUnit. If you use the PollUnit photo contest maker you can choose category winners as well as the overall winner.

we would like to inform you that our application PollUnit will be transferred to a new company. PollUnit will run in the future in our new company PollUnit UG (haftungsbeschränkt) and no longer in the Blutvoll Media Agentur UG (haftungsbeschränkt).

Happy Birthday PollUnit UGChange your voting layout for faster feedback!
With today's update we make PollUnit a bit more your online voting tool. Many of our users wished to be able to change the layout of votings. Besides the tabular view, where options and participants are visible, there is now also a simplified list view.
In the list view, all options available for voting are displayed one below the other. So the participants can easily navigate through all options and assign their votes.
You will find the setting right in the first step when creating your vote. A small preview shows you how your vote will look like.
The list view is recommended if there are a lot of options to vote for, or the votes of the participants are hidden or only secondary. If the votes of the participants are not hidden, they can be queried via the context menu of the respective option. As admin you can also analyze and export participants and votes in the PollUnit evaluation.
