Daily Advertiser Volleyball Player of the Year: How Voting Works & How to Win

What the Daily Advertiser Volleyball Player of the Year is, and who runs it

Two confirmed editions and a dated fall window are the solid core of the Daily Advertiser Volleyball Player of the Year. Almost everything else about the ballot, from exact dates to any voting rule, is left for the live page to answer. The Daily Advertiser runs the vote for its own Louisiana high-school volleyball coverage, hosting it on Crowdsignal through poll.fm rather than through any tool built into its own website.

Nominees appear on the ballot with their school and their position on the court, terms like outside hitter, middle blocker and middle hitter marking where each player lines up. Readers pick directly from that list, which makes this a straight public vote rather than a newsroom-only selection.

What the calendar confirms for the Daily Advertiser volleyball vote

Two editions are confirmed: 2023 and 2024. Both fell inside an October-November window, which lines up with the tail end of the Louisiana high-school volleyball season rather than the start of it, though The Daily Advertiser has not printed the exact day either edition opened or closed.

The Daily Advertiser prints no opening day, no closing day, no category list, and no per-voter cap anywhere on this Louisiana ballot; confirm on the live ballot each cycle. No next-edition date is printed either, so a 2025 round is expected by pattern rather than by anything the paper has stated outright.

What is dated and confirmed stays useful on its own. Two falls running, the vote has landed in the same October-November stretch, a fair planning window even without a printed calendar day.

The practical reading for a Louisiana reader is this: trust the October-November pattern for timing, and treat the live poll.fm page as the only source for exact days, since nothing else The Daily Advertiser publishes fills that gap.

How a supporter votes on the Daily Advertiser volleyball ballot today

The Daily Advertiser Volleyball Player of the Year runs as a plain public vote on Crowdsignal. A supporter pulls up the paper's ballot for the current cycle, reads down the volleyball nominee list, matches a name to a school and a position, selects that entry, and submits through the form built into the page.

No account or login step interrupts the process anywhere on the ballot. The visible mechanic stops at choosing a nominee and pressing submit, which is the entire flow The Daily Advertiser has built this Louisiana vote around.

What the ballot leaves unanswered is any rule about voting again. No daily limit is printed, no eligibility note appears, and nothing states how Crowdsignal treats a second submission from the same supporter. Only the live page could ever settle that question.

Fall timing still shapes the decision even without exact days. Both confirmed editions closed within the October-November stretch, so a supporter who waits until December has, in both confirmed years so far, already missed the window.

How the Daily Advertiser volleyball vote sits beside Louisiana's other prep ballots

Louisiana's other prep ballots mostly run weekly, which sets the Daily Advertiser Volleyball Player of the Year apart as a single, season-ending pick instead. The Louisiana High School Football Player of the Week and the WAFB Sportsline Player of the Week both name a fresh winner every week their sport is in season, rather than settling one name for the whole fall.

Two regional athlete-of-the-week ballots, the Baton Rouge High School Athlete of the Week and the New Orleans Area High School Athlete of the Week, cover any sport in season across their own metro areas rather than volleyball specifically, and neither ties back to The Daily Advertiser's own coverage.

The New Orleans Area Prep Football Player of the Week shares the weekly shape of the football and sportsline ballots above, another reminder that a single fall vote like this one is the exception among Louisiana's prep sports polls rather than the rule.

For a reader following more than one of these, the practical distinction is frequency: this vote settles once a season, while its Louisiana neighbours reopen every week their sport plays.

Building support for a Daily Advertiser volleyball nominee

With no per-voter cap or account requirement printed anywhere, the clearest way to add visible support is rallying a nominee's own school and club community while the October-November window is open. Sharing the poll.fm link early in that window, then again before it likely closes, fits the ballot's own fall shape better than one last-minute push.

Getting more votes online covers approaches built for a plain public poll like this one. The same caution applies before any paid push: The Daily Advertiser can add rules to this Louisiana ballot at any time, so the live page is worth a check before spending real budget.
