Nominations are open as of now, and will close after 7 days. The nominations deadline is 12:00am (midnight) December 11th US NY time.
-
Copy and paste the list above to a ‘new message’ in your private messaging system and fill in. Make sure to answer every category with your top 3 preferences (first being your most favorite, second is your second most favorite, and so on.) The top 5 nominees for each category will be announced at a later date ready for voting.
-
You must send your nominations to either me OR rachelcakes1985 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.
-
In order to nominate/vote in these awards, you must have signed up on or before November 1st, 2008 and have a minimum of 50 posts. All nominees/winners must be a member of this forum and their artwork must have been posted here before December 1st 2008. There is no minimum sign-up date/post count for nominees/award winners, only voters.
Remember, 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 must’ve 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 person’s 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 doing this, 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! Let’s make the nominees/winners a surprise for everyone.
-
Here is the ‘For Your Consideration Thread’ 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.
-
Please take time to look around the forum at various members’ art work and contributions to the site and think about it, so you can make a thoughtful nomination. =)
-
Fan fiction can be a work-in-progress. Each of the artwork categories pertain to each of the sub-forums in the ‘Fandom’ section of the forums, so wherever you find the artwork is placed on the forum would be a good indicator of its appropriate category above.
-
Since this is ‘Pixar’ 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.) ‘Best Thread’ and ‘Best Game’ can be either Pixar or non-Pixar, too.
-
The ‘Best New Member of 2008’ must have signed up between January 1st and November 30th 2008 to be eligible for nomination. Make sure to check what date people have signed up before nominating!
-
The choices for ‘Favorite Fandom Medium’ would be: artwork, graphics and icons, fan fiction, videos, Pixar fan commentaries, and role-playing. Again, vote for your top 3 in order of preference.
-
You may NOT nominate or vote for your own work.
-
Have fun nominating! =)
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to PM me or rachelcakes1985.
