Nomination Rules
- Nominations for Round Five will begin Wednesday, April 22. There are two ways to nominate:
the nomination post and through email to dramioneawards@gmail.com.
**All comments will be screened.**
**Anonymous nominations will not be considered.**
- There will be no running list of nominations. Similar to the way seconding was done last time, those who nominate will provide a list of all stories they believe deserve recognition. We will be counting nominations. At the end of the nomination phase, the top SIX stories will move on to final voting.
- If there are ties, we may decide to run seven stories in those categories.
- A story/author must be nominated twice (in a specific category) to be eligible for that category.
- You may nominate an unlimited number of stories and artwork per category. However, a category must have at least 3 stories nominated before it will run for the round.
- You may only nominate ONE story per category. Pick what you consider the BEST of 2008 in that category.
- We MUST hear from the author before a story can reach the final Voting phase.
- Stories which won in previous rounds are eligible for nomination. [
reference] Only a few stories from Rounds 3 and 4 fall into this category, so I don’t think it will be a big issue.
- Each story may be nominated for up to three categories per round. If a story is nominated for more than three, we will contact the author/artist, and he or she may choose the categories in which the story will run.
- In final voting, an author may be only be represented by ONE story per category. If an author has two different stories nominated for the same category when voting starts, we will contact the author, and he or she may choose the story that will run.
- You may not nominate yourself.
- ELIGIBILITY: In all categories except "Best WIP," all stories must have been COMPLETED in 2008. For "Best WIP", all stories must have been STARTED in 2008. The
dhr_archive community is available as a resource. On this community you can find posts that contain an extensive list of fics completed in 2008. However, we can't claim that this list is exhaustive. You are welcome to nominate a story not on the list, but we must be able to verify that it was completed in 2008 (or started) to be eligible. If you nominate a story that isn't on the lists, we'll add it to the appropriate post so that others will see it as well.
