Winter slumbering in the open air, wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring… and of pitting big bad consumer-unfriendly businesses against each other in the Consumerist Worst Company In America Battledrome!

Yes, dear Consumerist readers, it is once again time to take all that frustration over inept installations and dropped reservations, exorbitant fees and blacked-out TVs, tainted foods and CSRs in bad moods, and let us know your nominees for Worst Company In America.

Starting right this second and continuing through 5 p.m. ET on March 12, write to us to let us know about those companies that most deserve to be honored with the Golden Poo.

As always, nominated companies must regularly provide goods and services to American consumers.

Send nominations to WCIA@consumerist.com before 5 p.m. ET on March 12 to have your nomination be counted.

This year’s WCIA brackets will be announced March 18. Voting will begin March 19.

Best of luck, and may the worst company win!
