2012

Four years, guys! Four years of these awards, and yet to lose my interest in doing them (well, aside from Fitz doing half the work last year). This year I'm going to be shaking things up a bit, simplifying categories. and with your help, adding some fun new ones in there! Voting process is the same: two rounds, the nominee selection round, and the deciding round, all votes are sent to me via PM; this year however, I'll be posting my personal votes in the thread for legitimacy's sake. Just in case doing this for four years hasn't convinced you. 

General Notes:
-The nominated member must be currently active on the site
-Nominated material must be from this year or carried into it from a previous one
-No voting for yourself, obviously, but 'for your consideration' type promotion in this thread is allowed
-Material must be original from AvP Galaxy; check the poster's sources before voting
-You can re-submit your votes if the voting is still open; I'll update your previous list and delete the old
-If you are unfamiliar with a certain category, please attempt to research what it entails
-If you find yourself torn between choices during the first round, feel free to enter both names

Please do not submit your votes until I've given the go ahead!

Any questions, comments, suggestions, or additions you'd like to see will be assessed by me (or possibly another member) ASAP in the comments below.

[Shasvre]

It has arrived!

Nice to see the Best Compare category in there as well. Those have been a lot of fun.

I'm gonna get working on my choices pretty soon, so they are ready when it's time to vote.

[Twin Drive Sigma Aquarion]

I can tell I'll get nominated for nothing.

[ShadowPred]

Um, until when do we have to vote? End of the year?

[Space Sweeper]

No set dates for starting and end points at the moment, but the entire thing will certainly be over before the end of the year.

[Cap. Fitzgerald]

Shit, I'm so out of the loop on this one, I need to go look at art and shit.
And I'm sad that i'm basically out of the running for anything art related at all because of my scanner

[ShadowPred]

I'll get started on this later in the week. Expect a PM, Sweeps, by Friday, or at the very least very early in the morning on Saturday.

[Nightmare Asylum]

And so it begins...

You're eligible for an Artist award as long as you've kept your thread active into this year.

[ShadowPred]

Artist Award is going to be a pain in my ass to vote on, I am literally on the fence between two members at the moment. And I  don't think I can make a decision!

I completely missed that part, lol. Ok, nothing for me to worry about now.

[DJ Pu$$yface]

Hell yeeeah.
