Woah, this looks fun! I'm gonna have to do a lot of reading before I can narrow some of the categories down. . .

I can't help but laugh at the new member category since I don't know if I'd be eligible for that or not, LOL! I joined this place way back in August of 2003 but didn't actually start posting until just a few months ago. . . Well, at least I have a good excuse: I didn't have a computer of my own until recently.

Anyway, like I said, this looks fun! And looking for nominees gives me a good excuse to stay on the computer longer, LOL!

[Maerj]

I hope I win something

Don't worry you will. I shall nominate this post of your as the sexiest post here on UD.com. I swear I will do that for no one else!

[Maerj]

I hope I win something

Don't worry you will. I shall nominate this post of your as the sexiest post here on UD.com. I swear I will do that for no one else!

[DreamerQ18]

Wow I cant believe it.Has a year really gone by already? I have been here for almost a year feels longer CrAzY!! Only this year I should be participating since last year I wasn't has farmilar with everything and everyone. Gosh I love this place (So much Love) lol .

[Lucylover1986]

I'm basically bumping this up so it doesn't get lost. This should be a sticky I think.

[Loomis]

Here's hoping I can win again!

As a past winner, I assume I get invited to the ceremony? And do I get to present an award this year?



I'll have to think about the nominations...

[AwallaceUNC]

Just a reminder that if you haven't yet sent in your nominations, there's now less than 24 hours to do so. All submissions must be in my email inbox by 11:59pm (eastern time) Sunday night (3/20).

The nominees will then probably be posted sometime in the first part of the week. So far there's been a lot more participation than last year, which is a good thing. There also seems to be an interesting and varied voting pattern which may lead to larger numbers of nominees (can't be sure yet), but I suppose there's nothing wrong with a little more recognition.

2005 Forum Awards Special Award
I didn't get any submitted ideas for this, so please- feel free to make suggestions. The recipient can be the same, but the category must be different from last year's. It also doesn't have to be one person- it can be a thread/idea/event/review/etc... or something completely different. Be creative! There's no direct voting on this one.

Voting begins immediately. All votes must be sent to my email at awallaceunc@gmail.com or will not be accepted. All nominees are welcome to thank 'the academy' for nominating them and everyone else can "applaud" and congratulate, but please, no one indicate who/what they are voting for in this thread. Also, this probably goes without saying, but no nasty PM campaigns or anything, either. All votes must be submitted by 11:59pm (eastern time) on Wednesday, March 30.

Unlike the nominating round, you may vote for yourself or your thread/idea/etc. if you were nominated, though you certainly don't have to. No write-in votes will be accepted, though.

Everyone is encouraged to put a lot of thought into their votes. Be honest. Your votes won't be seen by anyone (except me, of course, but I tend to tally these quickly without thinking through them).

To those nominated: it really is an honor, even if you don't win! To those who weren't: please don't take offense... that's not the intention of this and I certainly don't want anyone's feelings hurt. If you feel you should have been nominated for one or more of the categories, chances are you were. A lot of people participated this go-around and a lot of names/threads/etc. were submitted. It could be that you or your ideas were just one short of the cut-off mark (which was dependant on the spread of submissions in each category, with 3-5 nominees being the goal if possible).

Since voting is through email, if this doesn't get a lot of replies, it may be a good idea to sticky it.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Thanks to everyone who sent in nominations. Any registered forum members, save those currently "in the vaults," may vote, even if they didn't send in any nominations. Congrats to all the nominees!

Congrats to all nominees, and thanks to all who nominated me.

Well, obviously a down year for me this year after a couple of nominations last year.
