I don’t think so at the moment.
Okay…
Well, you have heped by suggesting some nomination categories.
that’s true…is there still time to get any more in or are the awards mostly finished?
Well, like I said, the categories are in the process of being finalized, but we might add or take away a few more.
I know nathan had some ideas but he hasn’t been posting them…i’ll try to get those out in the open.
Don’t wait for them but if they come try to see if they’re usable…
Will do. . . 
Thanks…Nathan said he wanted to pm me them… 
i just pm him to tell him to just post them here…they should be more info about them soon.
Thanks TSS!!
You’re welcome!
Very cool certificates there, WALL-E! They look all snazzy. 
Good to know that things are now being finalised, TSS.
We have pretty much narrowed down the categories to 15 - 20 awards as of now. It sounds like a lot of awards, but they are pretty broad, covering members, artwork, and the forum itself. We are about halfway through deciding exactly how the nominating/voting process will work.
Thanks for those certificates and wards, WALL·E and WBoon. I’m not sure if we will have certificates or awards, probably just one of the two. It would be nice if we could somehow display images in our biographies so we could display them. You guys want awards so you can print them out, mostly, is that right?
I’m mostly leaning towards the idea of a little icon under your name, similar to the usergroups icon. If the admins allowed it, I could make one but every winner would have to have a different group, or we could just have one big group called "Pixar Planet Awards 2008 - Winner " and then you would click on the icon and it would specify which award you had won.
I agree with you that we should keep the awards relatively small, while also trying to have a range of awards so different aspects of members’ contributions are recognised. We are trying to come up with a broad range of awards that does just that. But at the same time, the thing about awards is that not everyone can win them, and although we would like to be specific about every type of contribution members make, to create many awards just so most people win something is frivolous and would take away the exclusivity and seriousness of the awards themselves. But we are going to try to have a good range that represents members’ contributions well while also keeping the awards small.
I think we are ok for the moment, but you can feel free to look at any other forums’ awards and suggest some of their awards here. Maybe we could use them.
unfortunitly most forums have awards but use them for mod symbols or other items although there is one award i know off that is totally cool…
here are some example though…
these are just some of the “awards” we had at eggxpert so take some heart that many awards are possible…
Hey guys, just a bit of an update. The Star Swordsman and I have made great progress with the awards, and we’ve covered a lot of the rules, process of the nominations and voting, categories etc We’re just waiting for approval from the admins so we can let you know of a rough timeline of the awards.
Al-Bob - Those are more like status graphics, which we already sorta have at this website. But those are a good example of what we could do with graphics. Thanks.
Rachel-yes these are most like status awards but since you can change them they could work…the awards could be put either in graphics or wording…either will work.
Rachel, I got your PM. I’ll start reading it right now.
What you could do for awards under the avatar is to make squares with a goldish light emitting from the border and a picture inside. That would make it unique and people might hover over it to see what it is…that way they could tell which award it is…It could be usergroups.
Yes, so they can stick it on a wall or something!
Sounds Great Walle…i can show it off to my family as a trophy…
if you get one, that is
Well, We have like about 25 awards to give out. Everyone has a chance to win one.
