Voting for your favorites is easy; simply download the XMB theme for the game that you want to see win in each category. The voting period starts on Feburary 22nd and runs through March 1st, so there's still some time to think about how you want your vote to go. The results will be unveiled during Sony's upcoming Spring Fever event in the PlayStation Store. Each of the four award-winning games will be sold at a 30% discount at that time. PlayStation Plus members will see that discount rise to 50% off. 

There are some great games on this list of nominations. Make your voices heard and be sure to vote for your favorites, and we'll see who wins in a few weeks. In the meantime, feel free to check out Sony's full press release regarding this event just after the jump.
