The People’s Choice for the Venue of the Month was inspired by bringing like-minded collaborators (Rave Nation, Aether Entertainer, Eorzean Illustrated, and Astral Clubbers) within the vast and exciting venue scene of Final Fantasy 14 to provide exposure and publicity to venues on a large scale. This is our way of featuring and acknowledging venues in the community who wish to create relationships, network, and obtain invaluable insight and experience from established venues, entertainers, and content creators. Just like one wouldn’t have a glamour contest for a level 1 sprout’s armor against a level 90’s endgame armor, we created respective categories each month that are fair and equitable along with a ranked voting system so every venue featured gets an opportunity to maximize their exposure to their intended audience. The goal with this collaboration with our partners is to create a united community and encourage growth within the venue scene in Final Fantasy 14 for all parties invovled. After a whole year of acknowledging venues as Astral Clubber's Venue of the Month, we've decided to leave the picking to all the people in our community through People’s Choice Venue of the Month. And that includes YOU. You are a voter! Each of our communities are nominating 1 venue, which makes a total of 4 nominees every month. The nominees all fit into specific category to make voting fair (think weight classes). The winning venue will then receive a number of perks from the 4 communities including magazine ad and cover discounts, news coverage, community support at their openings, access to some awesome guest DJs, and of course bragging rights - all month long.

1. To participate in the voting process, you must join or already be a member of at least 1 or all of these Discord “precinct” servers: Precinct #1 - Astral Clubbers (formerly Aether Clubbers), Precinct #2 - Eorzean Illustrated, Precinct #3 - Aether Entertainer, or Precinct #4 - Rave Nation.

2. The voting is done by priority system, meaning you will be asked to rank your choices from 1-3. Each voter gets to submit their priority ranked vote one time per Discord precinct. For example: You can vote for three venues in Rave Nation. Three votes in Eorzean Illustrated. Three votes in Aether Clubbers. Three votes in Aether Entertainer. You can join all of the precincts to vote up to 4 times for your chosen priority candidate.

3. The votes will be collectively tallied across all four Discord precincts and the venue winner will receive a special promotion and opportunity for the month from each of these respective Discord communities.

4. No voting with multiple accounts or bots. We have robust infrastructure in place to ensure clean and fair elections and that each venue has an equal opportunity to represent and advocate for themselves.
