The All-CNY Girls Large School Volleyball Player of the Year: How Voting Works & How to Win

What the All-CNY girls large school volleyball vote is

All-CNY hands out this honor through a vote open to everyone: readers pick the top girls large school volleyball player of the season. The program is a high school sports award decided entirely by the public. The ballot is carried by Crowdsignal on poll.fm, at the address https://poll.fm/15369689.

The program covers girls volleyball at large schools in New York. The current All-CNY ballot draws its nominees from schools in towns including Canastota, New Hartford, Holland Patent and Sandy Creek. The ballot asks a single question, who is the 2024-25 All-CNY girls large school volleyball player of the year, and lists each nominee beside her school. Every nominee is a student, so this page names the program by its publisher, sport, class and season rather than any player.

Two facts anchor the program for anyone arriving cold: the organizer is All-CNY, and the host is Crowdsignal's poll.fm service. Everything else a supporter needs, from the nominee list to the vote action, lives on the ballot itself.

The dated facts: editions, season and voting window

Two editions of the All-CNY program are confirmed, in 2023 and 2024, and the edition status is annual. The live ballot carries the 2024-25 season title, so the current cycle covers a school year that spans two calendar years, which is normal for a fall sport honored at season's end.

The voting window runs from December into April. That span comes from the All-CNY ballot series itself, whose dated ballots fall in December and April. The ballot gives no day-one and day-last dates for the current season, and All-CNY has not published the year of the next edition anywhere alongside the vote.

The unpublished list does not stop at dates. Neither a per-supporter ceiling nor eligibility wording appears on the All-CNY ballot; confirm on the live ballot each cycle. No separate nomination round is described on the ballot either, so the nominee list arrives with the poll already assembled.

For a supporter, the takeaway is simple. The 2024-25 ballot is live, the question and the nominees are printed on it, and the December-to-April window is the confirmed frame around it. Anything more specific than that has to come from the poll.fm page itself.

How a supporter votes in the All-CNY volleyball poll

All-CNY's vote is a plain public vote. A supporter opens the ballot at its poll.fm address, reads the single question, who is the 2024-25 All-CNY girls large school volleyball player of the year, and selects one nominee from the list. Each nominee is shown beside her school, so a Canastota, New Hartford or Holland Patent supporter can find the right entry without hunting through categories. There are no categories to work through; the whole ballot is one question and one list.

After the selection, the vote is submitted on the page and Crowdsignal registers it. The All-CNY ballot does not print a per-supporter vote limit, so whether a supporter can return the next day is governed by the poll.fm settings rather than by any posted All-CNY rule. If the ballot displays running totals, a supporter sees the standings immediately after voting; if it does not, the page simply confirms the choice.

Nothing about the mechanic requires an account on the face of the ballot. The question, the list and the vote action sit on one page, which is why the All-CNY poll works as a shareable link for school communities rallying behind a nominee.

Where this ballot sits among New York public votes

The All-CNY volleyball ballot is one of several New York high school public votes covered here, and it differs from its neighbours on three points: the sport, the honor and the cadence. The All-CNY ballot honors a player of the year for girls large school volleyball, decided once per season, while most of the neighbouring programs are weekly honors.

The neighbours include the Buffalo News Prep Talk weekly girls athlete vote, the Hudson Valley football weekly, the two lohud basketball weeklies for boys and girls, and two statewide football votes, one for New York at large and one for Section 1. Each of those follows a sport through a season week by week; the All-CNY ballot waits until the volleyball season is complete and asks one year-end question.

For a supporter, the difference matters in timing and in effort. A weekly vote rewards a fast, repeated push during the sport's season. A player of the year ballot like this All-CNY one concentrates the whole season's argument into a single December-to-April window, so the school community has one long, focused chance to carry its nominee to the top.

Rallying support for an All-CNY nominee

This ballot rewards one thing: votes cast on the poll.fm page for a single All-CNY nominee. That makes the school community the strongest asset a campaign has. Share the ballot address directly rather than a screenshot, name the nominee and her school in the message, and ask supporters to vote and, if the page allows it, to return. A single-question ballot leaves no room for split attention, so every share should point at the same address. All-CNY has not published any outside-help policy for this poll, so keep the push to ordinary outreach.
