Lets the Nominations
Begin

wondering out loud...

so how do we nominate? and how many are we allowed to nominate?

So pics had to have been posted before 31 July, could it not be the 8th of August instead (just before this was announced)?

Is there also a 'posted after' date? Some of the categories are similar to the Morphies, if there is no date are the pics that were nominated/won Morpies eligible for these awards?

Max - Billy Crystal asked me to host the awards show, he couldn't make it.

As stated below, you can nominate by either sending Winterhawk a PM or sending "me" (The_Dodge_and_Burn_Awards) your nominations. (We have already received several...) you are allowed to nominate as many as you want, within reason.

Sorry, but we have to save some stuff for the Morphies, which will happen at the beginning of the New Year.

This came under much debate, and the decision was that as long as the artist is a member of the site, he may submit his work as a nomination.

The Judges

Bumping this thread back to the top.

Is there a posted after date? Or can it be from years ago?

Is there a posted after date? Or can it be from years ago?

NO, but since this version of the site is only just over one year old, by default any picture would automatically have been posted on or after 2003/8/14.

Due to the overwhelming response to the nominations in the last couple of days before the cut off, the other judge and I are going to take a couple more days to sort threw them all. Already a few of the nominations have been cut because they did not meet the eligibility guidelines provided in the first post. Due to the high number of nominations in some categories some additional cuts might be made. As well some categories did not receive many nominations, so we will be adding some nominations to certain categories.
Thank you for your patience.

What's the criteria for cuts in the categories where there are too many?

Might I suggest a better option would be to have 'heats' in these categories...say 3 or 4 smaller polls and then the top 2 or 3 winners from each of the smaller polls go into the final poll.

It would be really sad for some to miss out on a chance (or just the high of being nominated) just because they share too much good company.

Max - Manip the Vote!

Excelent! Too many responses?!
(Gads... I'm sorry I'm so lazy).

MAN, this was hard!?!
All the great artist and guys I wanted to vote for everybody more than once!
There is some amazing stuff up for the vote and it is very hard to decide or make a choice
