Over a period of several months leading up to the awards, nominations and categories were developed and put forward to the fan organizers of the event, who then issued an official award and nomination ballot on the messageboards. Voting then took place on a specially designed, official voting webpage.

	Categories and nominations are made up entirely by the fans, and then agreed upon as an eligible category by consensus. For example, Season 1 had no "Best Battlestar" category because besides side references to other ships like ''Atlantia'', ''Galactica'' was the one that was really showcased, so this would not really be a fair competition and was not made into a category. However, practically anything in which three or more eligible competitors can be found can be turned into a category, such as the "Best Usage of the Word "Frak" category. Different years might therefore have several new categories.		Categories and nominations are made up entirely by the fans, and then agreed upon as an eligible category by consensus.
