Award nominations are open!

[Sunny]

Hi!

So....we did a total Awards overhaul, and I'm SUPER excited to show it off

You can see the new types of awards here: http://www.grey-tower.net/Wiki/index.php?title=Awards
(Please disregard the current images- I am in the process of revamping but couldn't work quite fast enough. You can see a preview of what they will look like with the Best Newcomer Award.)

The first category of Awards are brand new and also entirely site chosen. We'll have a round of nominations and then a week or two after that we'll have an open vote to see which nominees win.

The second, third, and fourth categories are mostly pre-existing "special" awards, and they are admin chosen. However, we depend on site nominations to keep things rolling (and also to keep things fair), so please, please nominate if you think someone deserves it! We have significantly reduced the number of available awards so it won't be nearly the same heart-stopping level of work it was last time.

The last category of "Awards" are freely available to you if you qualify AND you send greytower1@gmail.com an email asking for them to be bestowed on you. If you have ideas for other Loot you would like to see, please let us know- we'd be happy to add more.

I think that's it!

Without further ado, please go forth and nominate your friends for fun shinies!
Nomination Form [subtitle]Nominations open until September 13th, at 11:59PM EST[/subtitle] (This deadline may be extended if activity warrants it.)

This exchange happened in chat, and I thought it might be useful/relevant to the site:

[10:48 AM] Locke: i dont read enough of the other threads to be a good judge
[11:00 AM] Marla: Nominate for what you know.
[11:00 AM] Marla: I think there is a perception that you have to be familiar with the entire site to nominate, and that just ain't true
[11:01 AM] Marla: if you're only familiar with one thread but you think that thread deserves recognition, then by all means nominate the thread <3
[11:01 AM] Craig: That's why we need everyone to participate, 'cause no-one's read everything.
[11:01 AM] Marla: ^ exactly
[11:01 AM] Craig: And even if they have, different people appreciate different things.
[11:01 AM] Marla: that, too

Another reminder that there is still time to get your nominations in!

Even if you can't fill out every field, fill out those you can! Admin values nominations from everyone since it is hard for any of us to catch all the threads that take place.



Can we nominate that emoji as the cutest evarrrrr?
