The Mechanics
Nominations
• Each category will have its own thread. During the nominations period, these category threads shall be locked.
• I will pin another important thread, the Nominations thread where we can all nominate other members for each specific category.
• Nominations are unlimited, but you can't nominate yourself.
• The nomination period begins today, July 31, and shall end on August 13.
Rules for Voting
• Each person may vote for a maximum of three people per category where a voter's first choice is given three points the second choice two points, and the third choice one point.
• Voting will be made public. One can vote by simply posting and assigning points on the category threads.
• Logically, you also are not allowed to vote for yourself.
• Voting begins a day after nominations end, August 14, and ends on August 23.
