Back next month!

As anticipation builds towards next month's Global Poker Awards, fans can now officially vote in four categories. 

This year fans were invited to make initial suggestions for nominees, but now they can have their say by voting in four categories. 

'Poker Personality' is a write-in vote meaning you have to nominate the biggest personality of the last 12 months. The other three are shortlists that you can vote in:

The remaining categories will be voted on by a panel of industry experts and players over the next few weeks. 

We already know several of the winners. Game of Gold scooped the GPI Award of Merit last week and several players have been announced as the Global Poker Index Players of the Year, most notably Bin Weng and Kristen Foxen

The full list of nominees are likely to be announced next month and the ceremony will take place on February 24 at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. 

Who have you voted for? Let us know in the comments:
