Create your shortlist

  • When you click on Vote Now, you will be prompted to create an account or login to your ABC account. We need you to login to make sure voting is fair and everyone only votes once. You can find out more in our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
  • You can browse A-Z by composer and work title. Alternatively, click on the search button to search by composer, work title, or category. Add as many items as you want to your shortlist by clicking the ‘+’ button next to the piece.
  • You can vote for a maximum of ten pieces. To remove items from the shortlist, just click on the ‘x’ that appears when you hover your cursor over the item you wish to remove.
  • If you would like to vote for a piece which isn’t on the list, you will be able to add any piece to your own voting list. Just search for the piece you want to add, scroll to the bottom of the suggestions and hit the link that says "Add a work title manually".
  • We don’t track the way your selections are ranked, so once you have ten items hit the ‘Submit Votes’ button to continue.
  • Fill out the form with your personal details.
