The GameTimePA YAIAA Boys Athlete of the Year: How Voting Works & How to Win

What the GameTimePA YAIAA boys athlete poll is

The GameTimePA YAIAA Boys Athlete of the Year is a public web vote about the top boys athlete in the GameTimePA YAIAA coverage. The York Daily Record runs the ballot, and Crowdsignal at poll.fm hosts it. Nominees appear as answer options under the boys award question, with the school and sports beside each name.

York is the city tied to the newspaper, and Pennsylvania is the state market. The award is built around boys athletes, which sets it apart from the girls athlete ballot run under the same GameTimePA banner. A reader who arrives here should find the boys award directly, along with the linked poll.fm address for the current ballot.

When the boys athlete ballot runs

The organizer quotes a March 16 to 21 span for the boys vote, and the ballot is dated to March. The latest edition on the page is the 2025-26 award, which runs under the 2026 year. Editions are confirmed every year from 2018 through 2026, so the award is an annual March feature, and the 2027 ballot is expected on the same schedule.

A supporter planning a vote should treat March as the window to watch. The quoted span covers a week, which is the most specific dating in the facts for this page, so anyone voting late in the month should check whether the live ballot is still open before assuming it is. Readers who follow York-area sports can also watch the newspaper's sports coverage, since any change to the window would most likely appear there first.

The text here gives no opening day or closing hour for the poll, and the newspaper's own notices are the source for those. Confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

How a supporter casts a boys athlete vote

Casting a vote starts on the Crowdsignal page, where the reader checks the nominee answers and selects one name. The answers carry each athlete's school and sports, so a reader can match the nominee to the sport they follow. The poll is a multiple-choice public vote, and the choice happens on the same page as the question.

The steps are the same on a phone or a laptop. A supporter who wants to share the ballot can send the poll.fm address to teammates and families, which keeps the vote on the one official page. The text here does not describe a login or a daily return rule.

How this ballot sits beside other Pennsylvania polls

Several Pennsylvania sibling ballots sit close to this one. The state page lists a GameTimePA YAIAA girls athlete of the week, a statewide football award, a softball award, and a Mr. PA Football vote. Each covers a different gender, sport or format, so the reader should check the sport and the season before voting.

The boys award stands apart because it is the season-long award for boys in the YAIAA coverage, while the girls ballot under the same banner is a separate contest. A reader who wants the girls vote should open its own sibling route rather than this page.

Supporting a boys nominee in the York area

A reader who wants a nominee to stand out can share the official Crowdsignal link with coaches, families and local readers who follow York-area boys sports. Public sharing is the open route, and it keeps every vote on the single question. The guide to sharing a public ballot lays out those steps without promising any result.

Paid routes sit outside the poll itself. Readers comparing them should first look at the sports-focused page, such as sports fan poll votes. Whether purchased votes count on this York Daily Record ballot is not stated in the text here, so the organizer's rules decide before any payment.
