Dearest Members,

We have waited a while to start "the big" awards - about half a year actually and that not without reason. For one we wanted to establish this board, give new writer a chance to win the readers attentiond and affection and old ones time to proof themselves.
But more importantly we believe that the awards should be something worth waiting for - whether or not they are worth it, we leave up to you, but we did asure that there was some waiting and anticipation. :yes:

We will provide you with a large variety of categories for which you at first will nominate up to three nominees. After three weeks time, (at the 22nd of May) we will count these nominations and, approximately at the 1st of June, put up the final poll.
Nominations will be accepted and hoped for in the proper thread.

All questions should be posted in this thread, as will be all further explanations of the categories etc.

You will be able to nominate and vote in four main categories, that each contains a number of sub-categories - the artist, the story, the character and the reader.
All categories apply to all sections - Elijah Wood, The Lads and Book, Movie and original achievement.
You are not bound to vote in each category and you can edit your voting until the 22 of may, so please use these opportunity and don't vote the same author/story in each catoegory it's plain boring. You may vote for yourself.

If you don't want your stories to take part send me an e-mail!
