PEOPLE magazine, in celebration of its own 35th birthday, will team up with People's Choice to present the first ever People's Choice Award for Favorite Star Under 35, in recognition of this dual milestone. Beginning today http://www.pcavote.com/ and http://www.people.com/ will exclusively feature this unique poll, giving fans the opportunity to choose their favorite star, under the age of 35, by narrowing down from a group of Hollywood's biggest celebrities, chosen by PEOPLE's editors.

With the nominees revealed, fans have the opportunity to vote for their favorites in each category at http://www.pcavote.com/ starting today. In addition, from November 10 to December 7, voters at pcaVOTE.com can enter for a chance to win two tickets to the 35TH ANNUAL PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS.

Users must be logged in while voting to enter the contest. Membership is free and benefits include the opportunity to choose the nominees for the 36th Annual People's Choice Awards.

Nominees for THE 35TH ANNUAL PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS were determined with the help of E-Poll Market Research, a leading provider of products and custom research solutions for entertainment and media companies, agencies and Fortune 1000 companies. The study was conducted by E-Poll using the People's Choice Online Community to achieve a nationally representative sample of respondents aged 13 or older. For each category, the respondents were provided with a set of candidates determined by national ratings averages, box-office grosses and music sales. The respondents then chose their favorites in Television, Movies and Music. They also had the option to write in their favorites where not included among the provided candidates. The top three selections in each category became the final nominees.
