Are we allowed to add pictures to the nominations for the best overall art category?Or does that come with the discussion.
Sure you can...it's even recommended I would say, so yeah go ahead.Are we allowed to add pictures to the nominations for the best overall art category?Or does that come with the discussion.
We understand this concern, however these Awards are still in progress as far as development, ideas go...it's just the second year, so we are still trying to figure out how to run this in the future, how to make it pleasant and a good event for everyone...Maybe many of you share the same concern. I mean, the difficulties are clear. Most of the anually awards only deal with what were up during the particular year. As for this site award? I don't know, but something seems off. Imho, it will be simpler yet more exciting to limit the contenders, just for the chapters published this year, or from December last year.

I mean, for example, how can I choose the winner of the best shounen excluding the only one I followed thoroughly, just because it was the last year winner? I do understand that there is a difference between the best manga of all time and the best manga this year.
Well, that's true...but I think we are much more open minded about this...MH staff is a volunteer team, that means that we are members just like everyone else, and therefore our opinions weigh as much as everyone else's opinion...in this case it would be a bit smug to make a list by ourselves...we aren't pros nor specialistsI highly appreciate your passion (and patience, lol) for this community. Learning from the big shots out there, they usually have some kind of comittee to make lists of the contenders/nominations for each category, then the participants can simply vote from the lists. It will take away some liberty from us, but in general the quality of the event might increase considerately. This is my two cents.
I proposed last year to ban all manga from all categories who actually won something in the last awards.I think we definitively need awards that are specific to the year. After these are the the 201x awards we are talking about. I think it could be very natural for categories such as best double spread, best chapter, best new manga.
Then for such thing like best manga or best character, it's more complicate since both way are interesting. I mean, since Kaiten advertised Blade of the immortal, many member have started it and the manga is in good place to win some award so in a way it's a 2011 awards but a manga like Hunter x Hunter as also some good feedback because the current arc is specially good and not because it was discovered this year.
To make simple, maybe new categories could be for all time manga and yearly categories restricted to 2011.
Now that's a good idea, and honestly I don't remember it coming up until now...since we can't really add or remove new categories, this year it will stay out, but it will be in next year, that's for surei was wondering , why isnt their a category for best story , when there is one for artwork (or couldnt they have been broken down to best artist/author , besides having best mangaka as separate category; there are plenty of duo's that not always work together or artists/authors working with others for different series)
If I count it correctly the nomination round would end on January 7th, 2012.1. The contest ends in about 2 weeks and a few days so that means January something is the last day right?
It is not like that. At the end of the nomination round, we will take 5 nominees which is being nominated/voted the most. They will proceed to the voting round, in which we will use polls to determine the winner. In case we have ties, we'll have a mini polling session to get 5 names/titles to go to the voting round.2. The nomination that has the most votes wins in each category by the end of the contest right? Or will we have a voting round after all the nominations that didn't make the cut are taken out?
That is why you can give a reason as to why your nomination deserves to be the winner. I think you can at least ask why a certain name is being nominated to a member who nominate it. Use spoiler tags if needed, and please avoid using offensive manners as this is intended for fun. As long as everyone can keep the atmosphere friendly and fun, I don't see a problem. After all, it is like 'campaigning', right? ^^3. Can a voter post a reason why something shouldn't be nominated or post about why their nomination is the best choice to get more voters? (I mean as long as the post is not inflammatory or bashing in regards to other nominations. )
How to submit a nomination
Submit a nomination for the different award categories by posting in their respective thread and by explaining why said series/character/event deserves to be a nominee for that award category. The explanation cannot be longer than three lines.
It refers to all years. So you can nominate Dragon Ball.excuse me,I have a question: does the contest refer to the whole history of mangas,or just to what has been happening this year? for example,the best plot twist/epic moment,does it include DRAGON BALL or just what happened this year?
