Beyond voting, we envision it as an all-in-one platform for polls, surveys, and reviews, giving the PIPOL more ways to express their opinions and engage with communities. We are developing the platform with our trusted technology partners in Finland, Choicely, a globally recognized app developer,” said Yruma.

Powered by Choicely, the platform behind major events such as Miss Universe, the Grammys and Eurovision, Pi-PoLL is available on Google Play and the App Store.

Additionally, fans are invited to join the excitement, cast their votes, and stand behind the nominees they believe deserve the spotlight. Stay tuned for more updates, and for more details visit www.vpchoiceawards.com.
