-Out of all the nominations for the different award categories, only the 5 nominations that earn the most votes become the official nominees.
- To “vote” for a nomination, the only thing you need to do is to you write a post in the corresponding threads indicating your support for said nomination by writing: “I support *inserts the name of the nominee* for the *inserts the name of the award category*.
-The nomination process will take place from now until the next three weeks; you can edit your nomination and your vote at any time during that period.
- Once a series/character/event has been nominated, it doesn’t need to be nominated for a second time. If you agree with said nomination, show your support by voting for said nomination.
-Please respect the opinions and nominations of others. It’s okay if you don’t like a series or a character or an event that another person nominates and it’s okay if you don’t agree with said nomination; but please do not bash the character, or the series, or event, or the person who posts the nomination. The purpose of The MangaHelpers Manga Awards is to do something as a whole community while having fun, not to initiate any kind of drama or fights.
-In case an award category doesn’t have enough nominations, the rest of the nominees will come from a panel of experts and members from the staff.
