Thanks, Rachel 
! That does help a lot. I think I understand now. Thank you!
It seems that the schedule has remained the same as last year instead of the suggested âwait till the end of the yearâ approach, but I guess having it announced before Christmas would be a grander occassion! 
I have a suggestion; Iâm a member of a car chase forum, and every year we honour some of the finest vehicular races and pursuits on celluloid for own little amusement (just stick with me here, youâll see where Iâm going). In 2006, we introduced a new feature called âVirtual Guest Presentersâ. Basically, itâs like what it implies, we will each write our reasons and justifications for the chase we select for each category, and the admin will select a few of the pieces to tag to the winner as an accolade comment. Itâs like at the Oscars, Hugh Jackman/Halle Berry/some important VIP will sing praises to the nominees in between segments.
âXYZâs masterpiece of signature-making shows his/her prowess at Photoshop. Clean compositions, professional masking, and a witty tagline makes this a truly memorable promotional graphic for an awesome fanfic.â
A bit gratuitous, but who doesnât like going on an ego trip? 
Iâm not quite sure how this is going to be done here, as we wrote our comments directly into the Nominations thread, whereas here, it may be a difficult since weâre complimenting works from other members and it may influence the voterâs decisions. Perhaps we could each write our reasons and sent them to any of the organisers to compile and read/publish on Awards Day. This probably depends on how willing the voters are to write about their decisions and for the organisersâ cooperation, but of course, this is just a suggestion. But I think it could be fun.
We did this for 2006 and 2007, so you can read the threads to see how it was done to get an idea.
