Info/Discussion Fairy Tail Awards Info Discussion Thread

[Holt]

Welcome to the

An award event where you, the fans, nominate and decide what you think is the best in Fairy Tail!​

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. In essence, it's a hangout thread.

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 are 10 different categories decided by the staff to nominate and vote in.

Nomination Phase (Apr 20- Apr 26): The community makes their nominations in the category threads. If something has already been nominated before, you are of course allowed to simply state support that nomination to build up hype and campaign for that nomination.

Break (April 27): For administrative reasons.

Voting Phase (Apr 28- May 4): A poll is created for 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"

You may nominate up to three candidates in each category. During the nomination phase, you can always change your nomination, however, do so by making a new post rather than editing an old post to avoid confusion.

For the nomination phase to run smoothly and to avoid situations where nominations were or weren't counted by accident, please state your nominations clearly. It is preferable to highlight the nominated candidate with bolded red text. Example: "I nominate <insert candidate> for <insert category>", preferably followed by an explanation.

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.

We hope this will be a fun event that can turn into an annual event here in the Fairy Tail Section. The list of categories can be seen in the Awards section [HERE].

If there's any questions, feel free to contact Me or Skyguardian by PM or post in this thread.
