2006 Photonovel Awards

[Darth Depressis]

same as on rebelscum forums, should there be and how would it work?

[Jesse James]

If you guys run with it I'm sure we could post a small news blurb about it on the front page when you're finished or whatnot.  Sometimes awards things tend to end with hurt feelings though so tread lightly I think.

[S_A_Longhorn]

Sounds like a great idea, especially with the support of the ADMINS here on JD.  No hurt feelings on my part, since most of the work on this site is far superior to my stories, IMO.

Look forward to helping any way I can.  Should LANCE QUAZAR also take charge of this one in combination with RS?

[Deanna Rash]

 ;DSounds like a great idea and there's some pretty cool stories floatin ' around.It might get some more incentive.Everybody likes to get something for accomplishments
 

[Darth Depressis]

ok...so how do we get the ball rolling on this?

catergories? voting? nominations?

[Deanna Rash]

Story,Photo, Effects,Customs,Creativtity,layout-What do you guys think?

[Darth Depressis]

ok good, now when? and whos selecting? (and who cares?)

[Quazar]

Yes, I am happy to help out here.  I think the awards need to be "unified" among the various websites.

I will post more details soon, as it's late where I am, but we have come up with a good list of categories, a timeframe, rules and a voting system....but new ideas and suggestions are always welcome!!

[S_A_Longhorn]

The nominations should be nominated by anybody on the boards, that way every story out there has a chance to be nominated.  The more people involved, the more stories available.

ANd I think we should limit the stories that have been posted in 2006 only.

JD is great, in that we have the support of the ADMINS. 

Look forward to seeing how this plays out.

[Darth Depressis]

i diden't know yakface had message boards do they?

[Darth Depressis]

this is getting started and is apparently tri-site. so look alive ppl!

[Quazar]

Attention everyone -

Please remember that the deadline for entries in the 2006 Tri-Site Photnovel Awards are due in no later than December 31st.

Only photonovels (or photonovel chapters) which were posted to in the forums in the year 2006 are eligible for competition!

For right now, you don't have to do anything like "submitting" or nominating any stories (your own or others).  We'll handle that process in January.

All you need do now is ensure your story was on one of the three major sites (Jedidefender, Rebelscum, Yakface) some time in 2006.  So you still have a few days left if you're working on new material!

Thank you and carry on!
