NOMINATIONS
The Pricelessware List is the compilation of the favorite Freeware programs of the readers of alt.comp.freeware. The programs picked are not meant to be an exhaustive list of the best available Freeware, but rather an answer to the often asked "which _____ is best?"

We are selecting the best of the best in Windows programs.

Pricelessware programs may not contain adware or spyware. The program should be one of the best Freeware programs available.

Sub-categories are provided for ease of reference, but it is NOT the goal of the Pricelessware vote to come up with a program to fit every category.

If a program is nominated in more than one category the most appropriate category will be determined during the discussion period. Programs will be listed only once on the ballot.

note: Please nominate programs in an existing category and sub-category. (A new sub-category may be suggested if all the existing sub-categories seem inappropriate.)

The preceding year's Pricelessware programs are nominated automatically. All nominations must have a second to be placed on the ballot. (Two nominations of the same program are considered a nomination and a second.)

In addition, each program must have a complete description and description review. The description *should* be prepared by the person who nominates the program and reviewed by the person who seconds a nomination. Someone else *may* prepare the description and/or review in order to qualify the program for a place on the ballot.
VOTING
Vote *only* for the programs that you feel merit inclusion on the list. If you want to vote for 3 different e-mail programs because you believe all 3 deserve to be on the list, then vote for those 3. Conversely, if in your opinion none of the programs listed merit inclusion, do not cast a vote.
FINAL SELECTION
A program must receive at least 2 votes to qualify for inclusion on the PL.

In categories where several programs received enough votes to qualify, only the top vote getters will be picked.

If you find that there is a glaring omission, please post it in the appropriate thread. If there is support for inclusion, an overlooked program will be added to the list.

If you feel that a program selected for the PL is not a good choice, please post:
Program Name
Category
Objections
If there is support for removal, a program which has been voted in will be removed from the list.
