We present to you the awards for...

An award event where you, the fans, nominate and decide what you think is the best in the world of Manhwa!

This is the thread where you can discuss general topics related to the event and give thoughts, impressions and feedback before, during, and after the event.

The concept is the same as the annual Manga Awards here at MH, except for one detail: Instead of allowing only the top 5 nominations to proceed to the voting round, we will now allow every nomination. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the format and concept, here's an overview:

Award Format

The event will consist of two phases: a nomination and a voting phase, each consisting of one week, with one day break in between for administrative reasons. There will be 22 different categories decided by the staff to nominate and vote in.

Nomination phase (April 13th-26th, 2012): The community makes their nominations in the category threads. If something has already been nominated before, it's of course allowed to simply state support of that nomination to build up hype and campaign for that nomination.

Break (April 27th-28th, 2012): For administrative reasons.

Voting Phase (April 29th-May 6th, 2012): A poll is created of all the nominations, and you, the fans, have one week to decide what to vote for and convince as many as you can to support your votes to make the candidates you support turn out victorious.

Nomination Info - "How to Nominate"

Please remember, that you may nominate only one candidate in each category. However, during the nomination phase, you can change your nomination once should you think of something else.

For the nomination phase to run smoothly and to avoid situations where nominations weren't counted by accident, please state your nominations clearly. It is preferable to highlight the nominated candidate with bolded red text. Example:

Quote:

---

I nominate <insert title/character> for <insert category> because <insert reason here>.

---

Voting Info - "How to Vote"

Once the nomination round is over and the polls are made, the voting round begins. Please keep in mind that a vote is final. Discuss your opinion and think it through before voting. Choose wisely, because we won't change the votes if you reconsider later on.

Below is the list of available categories:

Apparently, a number of members missed the announcement / frontpage news about the awards. Therefore, we have decided to extend the ending date for the Nomination Phase to April 26th, 2012.

Just a reminder, since The Breaker, Noblesse and Tower of God series have their own awards section, they will not be nominated for Manhwa Awards.

I see we currently have no nominations at all for Best Sonyeon/Seongin and Best Sunjeong.

For those who do not know, Best Sonyeon/Seongin equals to Best Shounen/Seinen and Best Sunjeong equals to Best Shoujo.

I hope it is clear enough and can help you to nominate titles for the categories. I edited the title of the awards as well to make it easier for all of you.

Enjoy the awards and see you around!

We're now on administrative break, thanks for all your nominations. The voting phase will start on April 29th, don't forget to check back and cast your votes.
