For all member voting categories, with the exceptions of the categories marked by double stars, nominees must have been members for at least three months as of Dec. 31st, 2007.

For any category that says Top- or Best- anything, use your own criteria to base your decisions.

Nominations only for now. The actual polls will be posted up in exactly 2 weeks, please send your nominations before then. Results will be posted Dec. 31st or Jan. 1st, depending on your time zone (I’m in -5 GMT)

Simply copy and post this thread into a PM and put in your nominations (I’m trying to keep this as private as possible, to eliminate things like peer pressure and cheating).

A few “rules” and “guidelines”

• You may have a max of 3 nominations per category

• You may nominate any member an unlimited number of times

• Nominate by username

• When nominating a piece, try to use ones posted between Jan 1st, 2007 and the present.

• When nominating a thread, you can vote for one created before 2007 as long as it is still or recently has been active

• No, you don’t need to nominate for every category but please do as many as you can. Categories will too few nominations will be removed.

• Yes, you may vote for yourself

• Try to vote for the person you think deserves it most, not who you talk to most.

Also, if you have a suggestion for an additional category, contact me.

Hopefully this year there will be more people voting. :happy:
