The only rules are: 1. no voting or campaigning on the boards 2. no posting nominations on the boards 3. the Hall of Fame* winners can't win again I plan to close nominations on June 16 at midnight (due to my vacation). That's 10 1/2 days! Better dust off those thinking caps, folks! Please title your email "GDA nom" and send to my email as in my profile. *Hall of Famers = Doobie, Rebekah, LuLu, Darkbeer, friendofdd, Inspector 57

Originally Posted By LuLu FAQ: Q: What if I can’t think of a good award name? A: IF you can’t come up with a clever award name, send me your nominee anyway and I can consult my judges for award names. But the more info you can give me, the better. Q: Are people who’ve won in the past ineligible? A: No, if they’re nominated for a different reason. For instance, if someone’s already won for their helpfulness, a similar nomination won’t be considered, but one for their humor would. Please consult the list of previous winners and their awards. Q: So-and-so didn’t win last year, why not? A: Often, after the awards I get complaints about folks who didn’t win, but they may never have been nominated! If you think someone deserves an award, please send in a nomination before June 17! Q: Can I nominate myself? A: Sure, if you think you deserve an award! Just follow the same rules and suggestions as above. Q: Does the winner need to be present to accept his/her award? A: Nope! We do all we can to get the award button to its recipient. Some winners are unwilling to provide a mailing address... but they still have the honor of being a winner! I look forward to your nominations by e-mail. Have fun everyone! (This topic will be followed shortly by a topic on previous award winners, which will get you in the swing of things!)

Originally Posted By LuLu Hey everyone, feel free to use the lists of previous winners for inspiration. Check out the award names and descriptions, think of your favorite posters, and I'm sure you'll come up with some "winners!"
