DARK GLOBE OUTSTANDING ARTIST AWARDS!!
(2011)
Brought to you by The Dark Globe
Okay, so maybe this Blog is a bit young to be Issuing Awards to People…
But you know what, who makes the Rules for this sort of thing anyway.
As we approach the End of 2011, I thought it might be kind of cool to Issue some Awards out to Fellow Bloggers, which will be determined by Fellow Bloggers, right here on this site… Out in the Open, where everyone can see what’s going on.
The Three Categories for The Dark Globe Outstanding Artist Awards for the year 2011 are as follows…
1) Photographer of the Year
2) Writer of the Year
3) Blogger of the Year
Rules; (As of 12/18/2011) – These may be Altered along the way
1) No Single Blogger can win more than one of the 3 Categories… We want 3 Winners. People however Can Be Nominated for More than one Category initially, but when the Final 5 Per Category are Determined, they will only be allowed in One Category.
2) All Proposed Candidates must be Posted either here, or in The Thread (‘s) in the Forums for These Awards.
3) Anyone may Nominate anyone, but you can’t Nominate yourself.
4) There will be 5 Candidates for Each Category, this will be determined by how many times an Individual is Nominated… In other words, if you see someone already Nominated that you wanted to Nominate, Nominate them anyway, this will help us determine the Final 5 of each Category.*
- December 18th Amendment, after we have determined which Nominees have been Nominated More than once, and thus become a Final Nominee, the remaining Preliminary Nominees shall be Presented to 3 of the Senior Writers of The Dark Globe (3 other than me that is), and those 3 will have the option to supply me with a list of their Favorites beyond the already established Final Nominees. If after I have received these lists, a few Final Spots are still yet to be determined, at that time I shall Review the Remaining Sites, and determine the Final Nominees.
5) I DarkJade will not be Nominating anyone, and I will not be Casting Votes once we have our Nominees. I will simply be doing the Administrative parts.
6) You can only Nominate 3 People Total, they do not need to be in different Categories.
7) When Voting begins, you may Vote Once Per Category… And not for yourself, lol. These Votes will be out in the open, so, if you are going to get upset at people for not Voting for you, Please Do Not Participate… This is being done as a way to Generate Fun, as well as an act of Appreciation towards those Nominated.
8 ) The Nominations Begin as of now 12/13/2011 PST USA. Hopefully we will have 5 Nominees per Category by 12/20/2011, which is when Nominations are over.
9) Voting for the Nominated will begin 12/21/2011, and will end 12/31/2011. I understand the Holidays are here, so hopefully that Eleven Day window will allow enough time for people to place their Votes.
10) The Winners will be Announced on January 1st, 2012… HAPPY NEW YEAR!! The Winners may then Place the Appropriate Award JPEG (Picture) on their site… There are 3 Different JPEGS (Pictures), One for Best Photographer, one for Best Writer, One for Best Blogger.
11) You may Advertise on your Individual Sites all you like, Promoting People to Nominate, or Vote for you… But Not in the Forums. Being Playful about it in the Award Threads themselves is fine though.
That’s All the Rules for now, I’ve never done this, so they may Change Along the way. The Rules Updated Date is at the Top of this List of Rules, I will change it if I change the rules.
Thanks for Listening/Reading, and Hopefully Participating!!
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!
