IFTA has a dedicated market research team that works attentively to find the potential list of nominees, with the help of their primary and secondary research. This Nominees list is then made public on the IFTA voting site, where the public, vote for their favourite artist. The nominee who gets the maximum number of votes wins an award.

Team IFTA believes that there is no better judge than the audience, that’s why they have developed India’s First People’s Choice Award, where the audience is given the sole right to vote and decide the Winner. There is no jury on board to decide the fate of the winners. The IFTA voting and its results both maintain transparency.

About the Instagram Poll Challenge

Besides online public voting, IFTA has introduced the Instagram Poll Challenge for the very first time. To make this challenge functional, an Instagram story was put on the official Instagram page of IFTA, informing the viewers about respective Award category and whom they’d want to see as the Poll Challengers. For example, the Instagram story for this particular category would say: “Nominate a Stylish TV Actor for the Poll Challenge”. Based on the audience’s reaction, the top four names that pop up the maximum number of times, make it to become the final four Poll Challengers.

These Poll Challengers then compete through three different rounds of Instagram Poll Challenges. If a Poll Challenger:

1. Wins 1 out of the 3 poll challenges, then the Winner gets 10% bonus votes of his total votes on IFTA voting site.

2. Wins 2 out of the 3 poll challenges, then the Winner gets 15% bonus votes of his total votes on IFTA voting site.

3. Wins all the 3 poll challenges, then the Winner gets 20% bonus votes of his total votes on IFTA voting site.

The IFTA voting site only allowed for the Voters with Indian Phone numbers to Vote. Due to this reason, the Instagram poll challenge was introduced to give International Fans an opportunity to Vote for their favourite celebrity.
