What is our Goal?
To promote Xbox Live Indie Games in the best light possible.
Our goal is not to immediately boost initial sales, but long term exposure to the platform, as well as introduce developers to their audience and the industry.
Voting Process
How will we be voting? Who will be doing it?
A poll will be built using survey monkey, which lists each of the titles.
Developers will vote using a 5 star system
You are not voting on categories, but the overall appeal of the title based on the criteria listed below
Play as many titles you would like, but at least eight (8)
The titles with the highest rating at the end of the two week process are the 8 which are on the front page of the promotion
What if a title is part of the promotion but is pulled, due to being a winner of the DBP promotion?
This only benefits all of us. The fact that one of our selected titles is a DBP winner would showcase exactly the kind of talent on the platform, as well as that of the candidates.
We will then select the title which was in 9th place, to replace the spot of the removed game.
Criteria for voting
Marketability (How appealing the trailers/images are, and how well it represents the platform)

Gameplay
Diversity from the rest of the platform
Graphics
Music
