What is the Amarillo Globe-News High School Athlete of the Week and who runs it?

This weekly public poll is run by the Amarillo Globe-News, a newspaper in Amarillo, Texas. The poll is hosted on Crowdsignal, which is the platform behind poll.fm, rather than on the newspaper's own page. Each ballot asks readers to choose from a list of high school athletes shown for that week, and the poll is treated as a sports feature in the Amarillo market.

PlatformCrowdsignal (poll.fm)

VerticalSport, high school
Key fact: Ballots sit on a third-party poll platform, so the poll page itself is the place to vote and to confirm the week's nominees.

Which seasons are confirmed, and when do the weekly ballots run?

The weekly series is confirmed for the 2024, 2025 and 2026 seasons. Its ballots are dated from September 2024 through May 2026, so the poll runs through the school year and pauses over the summer. The linked ballot is one closed weekly ballot in that run, and the start date of the next season is not published.

2026Through May 2026Last dated ballot in the series
Key fact: The series is weekly, so a supporter should check the poll page each week rather than relying on a single season date.

How does a supporter vote in the weekly poll today?

The weekly poll is a public web ballot. A supporter opens the current week's poll on Crowdsignal, reads the nominee list for that week, and submits one choice. No per-voter limit or category roster appears in the listing, so the steps below cover only what the poll itself shows.

Because the poll sits on a platform rather than the newspaper's domain, a reader who lands on a different site should return to the Crowdsignal page before voting.

How does this poll sit beside other Texas athlete ballots?

Six sibling polls share the state and sport vertical. The Austin American-Statesman and East Texas football polls are regional, and the DFW Star Local Media poll covers the DFW market. Dave Campbell's Texas Football Quarterback of the Year is a single football award rather than a weekly series. The Amarillo ballot differs from its neighbours because it is a weekly Amarillo Globe-News series hosted on poll.fm, and the state overview is at Texas contests.

Readers who follow several Texas ballots will notice that the regional football polls use a different format from the Amarillo weekly listings. Lining up the nominee lists side by side shows how different the weekly picks are.

What can a supporter do to help a nominee in this weekly poll?

Support for a nominee in the Amarillo weekly poll comes from readers who open each week's ballot and vote on it themselves. The newspaper's own announcements are the best place to watch for changes to nominees and timing. Outside services that sell votes exist for many contests, but the listing does not say whether the Amarillo Globe-News allows purchased votes, and no such rule is printed on the poll. A supporter who wants wider reach can share the weekly poll link with friends and families, and the guide to getting more votes online covers general tactics that stay inside a contest's rules. For a wider view of paid options, see buy votes online, and read the organizer's terms before using any service.

When does voting close for the Amarillo Globe-News weekly ballot?
The linked ballot is a closed weekly ballot, and the poll does not print a closing time for the next one. Ballots in this series are dated from September 2024 through May 2026. Look for the closing time on the live poll page each week.
How is the weekly winner chosen for the Amarillo Globe-News Athlete of the Week?
The selection method is not described in the listing, so how a weekly winner is determined is unstated. The poll presents itself as a reader vote. Any announcement of a weekly result will come from the Amarillo Globe-News itself.
Can one person vote repeatedly in the weekly poll?
No per-voter limit appears in the listing, so no daily or weekly cap can be quoted. Ask the newspaper before attempting repeat votes. The newspaper's own rules are the authority on this point, and repeat-vote rules can change between seasons, so read the live poll before you vote.
Is voting in the Amarillo Globe-News Athlete of the Week poll free?

Can I buy votes for the Amarillo Globe-News Athlete of the Week?
Third-party sellers offer votes for many contests, but the newspaper has not stated whether purchased votes count in Amarillo. Votes bought from outside sellers can be removed if the organizer's terms forbid them. The Amarillo Globe-News terms govern, so read them before using any outside service.
Does the Athlete of the Week poll load on a phone?
The poll is a web page on poll.fm, so a phone browser should display it much as a desktop does. The listing says nothing about device requirements. If the form fails to load on a phone, switch to a computer and retry the live poll.

Is a weekly reader poll for high school athletes lawful to join?
Reader polls for high school sports are a familiar format, and this one runs on the Crowdsignal platform. Whether a given method counts depends on rules the listing leaves out. Read the newspaper's stated rules before voting in a way they do not describe.
Who is eligible to appear as a nominee in the Athlete of the Week poll?
Eligibility is not spelled out in the listing, so who qualifies for a weekly list cannot be stated here. Nominees appear on each ballot, and the newspaper decides which names are included. Check the current week's list on the poll page.
Who runs the Amarillo Globe-News Athlete of the Week?
The Amarillo Globe-News, a newspaper in Amarillo, Texas, runs the weekly poll and hosts it through Crowdsignal. Questions about the award should go to the newspaper directly. Its sports coverage here centers on high school athletes in the Amarillo market, and the newspaper's name sits on each weekly poll.
Does the poll show live vote totals?
No live totals appear in the material for this poll, so no running count can be quoted, and readers should not rely on partial counts seen during the week. Closed ballots on the platform show final shares once they close. Look for any weekly results notice on the newspaper's site.
Are automated tools or voting software permitted in the Amarillo poll?
The listing contains no rule on automated tools, so whether they are permitted cannot be settled here. Any such votes would fall under the Amarillo Globe-News terms, which the listing leaves out. Automated help should be checked against those terms first.
How does this poll compare with the Dave Campbell's Texas Football Quarterback of the Year?
Dave Campbell's Texas Football Quarterback of the Year is a football award for quarterbacks, while the Amarillo Globe-News poll covers high school athletes weekly across sports. Choose the football award for a quarterback vote and this weekly poll for a broader view.
