VP CHOICE AWARDS FAQ

WHAT IS VP CHOICE AWARDS?

The VP Choice Awards (abbreviated VPCA) is an awards ceremony organized by Philippine-based publication Village Pipol and its parent company RED Entertainment, Inc.

VPCA acknowledges the people’s choices in categories such as Travel, Lifestyle, Technology, Business, and Entertainment.

WHAT IS VPCA HALL OF FAME?

The VP Choice Awards’ Hall of Fame is bestowed upon brands, companies, celebrities, and personalities that have been consistently chosen by the Pipol for three (3) consecutive wins in the same award category.

WHEN ARE THEY AWARDED WITH VPCA HALL OF FAME?

Recipients eligible for the Hall of Fame will receive their trophy during the subsequent year’s awarding ceremony. For instance, if they secured wins in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th VPCA editions, they will be honored with the HALL OF FAME recognition in the 5th VPCA. 

CAN THEY WIN MULTIPLE VPCA HALL OF FAME?

Yes! To earn another Hall of Fame accolade, they must secure three (3) consecutive wins in the same category.

IF THEY WIN THREE (3) CONSECUTIVE YEARS, CAN THEY STILL RECEIVE A NOMINATION IN THE NEXT VPCA?

[Updated]

Starting with the 6th VP Choice Awards, the Village Pipol Editorial Team and its executives have introduced a new rule removing the nomination exemption for those who achieve Hall of Fame status in the current year, allowing them to be nominated again. The Hall of Fame award will continue to follow the rule of securing three consecutive wins in the same category. Artists, brands, companies, and other personalities can earn multiple Hall of Fame awards and be recognized as part of the VPCA Hall of Famers. This change enables them to compete again and achieve multiple Hall of Fame accolades, further solidifying their legacy.

Example: A Mobile Phone Brand winning “Mobile Phone Brand of the Year” in 2021, 2022, and 2023 earns its first Hall of Fame induction. If they get nominated and win again in 2024, 2025, and 2026, they receive a second Hall of Fame for the same category.

 

WHAT IF THEY WON IN THE 1st, 2nd, AND 4th VPCA? ARE THEY CONSIDERED A HALL OF FAMER?

[Updated]

Unfortunately, NO. To qualify for the HALL OF FAME recognition, three (3) consecutive wins are strictly required.

WHAT IS PI-POLL?

The Pi-PoLL was introduced during the 6th VP Choice Awards as a way to gather the Pipol’s sentiments through polls hosted on the VPCA website.

It serves as a tool to gauge public opinion on trending topics and relevant issues, and also helps identify potential nominees for the upcoming VP Choice Awards.

Please note: winning a Pi-PoLL does not equate to receiving an official award. However, through the Pi-PoLL Power Pick, fans are given the power to secure an official nomination slot for their favorites.

WHAT IS VPCA'S PI-POLL POWER PICK?

Pi-POLL Power Pick allowed the Pipol to vote for their favorites. The winners with the most votes secured official and automatic nomination spots in selected categories before the VP Team’s deliberation and the official announcement of nominees.

Note: Winning a Pi-PoLL Power Pick secures an automatic nomination for the winner. However, other potential nominees—including those who did not win in the Pi-PoLL—will still be evaluated by the VP Editorial Team and industry experts during the official deliberation phase.

Pi-PoLL Power Pick winners will then compete alongside the final list of nominees in the official online voting period, which runs for one month.
