RACCIES: 2014 Third Nomination Ballot

[Andrew Perron]

Putting one more out there, just to make it official that I'm extending! Get 
your ballots in ASAP and show your love!

==========

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. (We 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 that 
*someone* would vote for them.

In addition to the categories listed below, participants are encouraged to 
create 'special' (read 'comedic') awards to include in the balloting.  Include 
a winner with your award!  We'll exert editorial fiat over these nominations, 
keeping those nominated in the spirit of humor and dismissing those nominated 
in the spirit of being a jerk.

Nominations are RACC-wide; all posted imprints, stories and authors are 
eligible, as long as the stories in question were posted from January 1st, 
2014 through to December 31st, 2014.  It's highly recommended that each author 
post a list of which of their works are eligible this year; you might just jog 
someone's memory into voting for you!

This year, all nominations should be sent to pwerdna at gmail.com!

The nomination period ends FEBRUARY 15TH, 2015, so get them in now!

2.) Elections.  This is crunch time!  Pick three nominees from each category 
and rank them 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (again, no voting for oneself or one's 
stories).  Track and field scoring in effect; that is, 1st is 5 points, 2nd is 
3 points, and 3rd is 1 point.  The nominee with the most points wins. 
Democracy in action!

The election period ends MARCH 31ST, 2015. (Wherefore art thou, Jamie Rosen?) 
  Again, send in nominations and election ballots to pwerdna at gmail.com.
