  8. inthemix reserves the right to discount votes that appear to be fraudulent or in breach of these voting rules. This includes (but is not limited to) systematic vote creation other than those by actual individuals; use of disposable email services; and creation of domains specifically for the purposes of vote rigging. Where sufficient evidence exists that a DJ or promoter nominated in the poll is involved in such practices, we reserve the right to disqualify that DJ or promoter.
  9. Incentivising votes through the offer of prizes, cash, event invitations or by any other means is strictly forbidden. Where sufficient evidence exists that a DJ or promoter nominated in the poll is involved in such practices, we reserve the right to disqualify that DJ or promoter.
  10. Winners in the 'local DJ', 'international DJ', 'track', 'club night' 'live act', 'festival moment' and 'event/festival' categories are determined by those who receive the most number of votes, no other criteria is taken into account.
