This year, community voting will be possible via a link on the Indie Games Summer Uprising Facebook page.

There is no word yet on the titles in the promotion or up for debate, but the Uprising Twitter account says a "very promising lineup" will be revealed soon. Winning titles will be announced on the same Twitter account after voting ends, using the hashtag "#IGSU."

Update: The Indie Games Summer Uprising website is still under construction for the new year, and the dates we had previously are old. Specifics are coming soon, moderators promise us.
