[size=125]RULES FOR NOMINATING[/size]
-
Nominations are open as of now, and will close after 14 days from the date of this post.
-
Copy and paste the list above to a ānew messageā in your private messaging system and fill in. As a different rule this year you do NOT have to fill in every category, but please try your best to fill in every awards category if you can.
-
Choose your top 3 preferences for the categories you would like to nominate for (first being your most favorite, second is your second most favorite, and so on.) A shortlist of nominees for each category will be announced at a later date ready for voting.
-
You must send your nominations to me OR The Star Swordsman via a private message. Send your votes to only one of us - we will combine our results after the nominations close. Do not post them in this thread. Please keep an eye on your inbox for a few days after you have sent your nominations just in case we need clarification for anything you have written.
-
If you wish to nominate you must have signed up to the forums on or before 6 November 2009. There is no minimum post count to nominate or vote this year. There is no minimum sign-up date for nominees/award winners, only voters.
-
All nominees/winners must be a member of this forum and the artwork that you nominate for must have been posted on Pixar Planet from December 12th 2008 onwards.
-
Your signature and avatar that you nominate may either be Pixar or non-Pixar. However, the rule is that the avatar/signature worn by the member mustāve been created by a Pixar Planet member.
-
Try to be as specific as possible when nominating. When nominating a signature or avatar try to post the image in the message, if you can, otherwise tell us the name of the signature or avatar and describe what it looks like in detail, and also the name of the person who created it. Better yet, link to the page in the personās graphics thread with the graphic in it. When nominating fanfiction, just the name of the fan fiction and username of the person who wrote it is fine.
-
We are aiming to keep the nominations and awards as private as possible, so please do not talk about you who are nominating/voting for on these forums. DO NOT ask, beg or bribe people to nominate or vote for you/your work. If we find out you are trying to influence others then your votes will be dismissed, and you and your work may be kicked out of the running for any awards. We are serious about this - no cheating! Letās make this a fair contest and the nominees/winners a surprise for everyone.
-
Here is the āFor Your Consideration Threadā where some members have posted one example of their best work in several categories (for the art-related awards only.) However, you are more than welcome to nominate work that a member has not put forward for consideration in that thread.
-
Fan fiction can be a work-in-progress as long as there is at least one chapter that was posted from December 12th 2008 or later.
-
Each of the artwork categories pertain to each of the sub-forums in the āFandomā section of the forums, so wherever you find the artwork is placed on the forum would be a good indicator of its appropriate awards category above.
-
Since this is āPixarā Planet, all of the art nominations must be related to Pixar, except for the two non-Pixar awards (which must be anything other than Pixar) and the signature and avatar award (which can be either Pixar or non-Pixar.) āBest Threadā and āBest Gameā can be either Pixar or non-Pixar, too.
-
The āBest New Member of 2009ā must have signed up between December 1st 2008 and up to and including October 31st 2009 to be eligible for nomination. Make sure to check underneath peopleās usernames at what date they signed up before nominating them for āBest New Memberā.
-
The choices to nominate from for the āFavorite Fandom Mediumā award are: Artwork - Traditional, Graphics and Icons, Fan Fiction, Videos, and Pixar Fan Commentaries.
