[RACCies] Nomination ballot (3rd posting 23rd Jan 2006)

     Third and final posting of the nominations ballot for the RACCies
for stories posted (mostly) in the year 2005.
     Nomiantions have doubled to four in number.  This is your final
week to get your nominations in if you've been procrastinating.
     And I should have mentioned this earlier, but RACC18 FAVOURITE
NEW WRITER is actually an empty field.

==========

    The RACCIES are a two-step process:

     1.  Nominations.  Open.  The only restriction is that you may
    not nominate yourself or any stories you worked on.  (I will
    except crossovers under the assumption it is the others'
    contributions you wish to recognize ;] ).  The objective is
    to overlook _no_ quality stories, yet still keep the ballot
    a reasonable length, so nominate as many as you wish but
    make sure _someone'd_ vote for them.

         In addition to the below listed categories,
    participants are encouraged to create 'special' (read --
    comedic) awards to include in the balloting.  Include a
    winner with your award.  I will exert editorial fiat over
    these nominations, choosing the funniest among duplicates
    and dismissing ones in bad taste or ones with vicious intent.
         Nominations are RACC-wide: all posted imprints, stories
    and authors are eligible as long as the story(ies) in
    question were posted after 23 DEC 2004 and before 24 DEC 2005.


         Nomination Period ends: JAN 31 2006

     2.  Elections.  Crunch time.  Pick three and rank them 1,2,3
    (no self-voting).  Track and field scoring in effect -- ie 1st is
    5pts, 2nd is 3pts and 3rd is 1pt.  Most points wins. Democracy
    in action!


         Election Period ends: FEB 28 2005


     NOTE:  Please return all nominations and ballots to
     saxon.bren... at uts.edu.au     or
     saxonbren... at hotmail.com


     ALSO:  I highly recommend each author post a message informing the
     community which of his works are eligible.  It may just jog
     someone's memory into voting for you!
