First of all, thedriveintheatre and I (mostly myself!) would like to apologize profusely for the length of time it has taken us to pull the awards together! Normally, things run fairly smooth and deadlines are met as far as the awards go, but my life in particular threw quite a few very hard-hitting curveballs at me all at once, and I was not able to be as attentive to the awards as I would have liked. My most sincere apologies are extended to you guys for the very long and unnecessary wait.
With that said, it’s time to announce our finalists and start the voting!
Typically, we select the top five nominees in each category, but for some categories we had ties, so there may be more than five nominees listed. That’s okay… because in the voting process, you can only choose one out of the five or more nominees presented.
Before I list our nominees, here are the rules for voting:
-
Voting is open from now until Wednesday, March 6. Usually we have voting open an entire week, but because things are running behind almost two weeks out as it is, we want to cut the time down to get our winners announced as soon as possible!
-
Even if you didn’t nominate in the first round of the awards, you are still able (and encouraged) to vote in the finals.
-
Copy and paste the list below to a ‘new message’ in your private messaging system and leave only ONE member/work you are voting for in the list. You do not have to answer every category, but please try to, so that there is less of a chance of having tied awards. There were a lot of ties for the nominations, so if you guys try to vote for every category, the less chance of a tie.
-
Send your votes to either myself of thedriveintheatre.
-
If you wish to vote you must have signed up to the forums on or before December 31, 2012.
-
Once again, keep your votes to yourself, and DO NOT tell others to vote for you. If we find out you are trying to cheat, you will be kicked out of the running for any awards.
-
You may not vote for yourself or your own work.
-
If you have any questions, please send me or thedriveintheatre a message.
-
Have fun voting! The winners will be announced a few days after the voting has closed!
And without further ado… our finalists!
