Voting has begun for the 26th annual Golden Joystick Awards.

This year the awards are split into 15 categories, and will show which games had you glued to your controllers this year.

Voted for entirely by gamers, you can go over to the website and vote in as many categories as you like. What's in it for you? Well, there's chance of winning a prize from a stack of the latest gaming gear worth more than £10,000. Nice.

Last year, almost 750,000 votes were cast by UK gamers, and the organisers are really hoping to smash the million mark this year. By voting now, you will help to shape the shortlists, which will be announced at midday on 23 June.

The categories are as follows:

Ultimate Game of the Year
The Sun Family Game of the Year
Nuts All Nighter Award
BBC 1Xtra Soundtrack of the Year
Bliss Handheld Game of the Year
Editor’s Choice
The One To Watch Award
4Talent Mobile Game of the Year
Nintendo Game of the Year
Online Game of the Year
PC Game of the Year
PlayStation Game of the Year
Xbox Game of the Year
Publisher of the Year
Retailer of the Year
UK Developer of the Year

If you can think of a game that just has to win one, or some, of those categories, get over to the website and get voting.
