Felix Awards Season 4 - Nominations!
Sapphire:
Question: Is there going to be a cap on how many nominations a person and/or story can recieve for one category. Last year 1 author had 3 out of 4 noms in one category. They were almost guaranteed a win but the author won.
mare:
I would think it really doesn't matter because it's the readers who are nominating and just like the Emmys where everyone but one person from one TV show can get nominated, that other person can still win? I think with the way the categories are set up, there will be more of a choice for each category then years past so I don't really see it as being that big of an issue.
I'll discuss it with Julilly and get back to you on that though.
Bilittrell:
I did my votes, but i think i MAY have got a little confused.. LMFAO!! Only cos i read the instructions, but as i hit send realised that i could vote a story, then a seperate author. Oh well haha, i'm still happy for who i voted for LOL
RokofAges75:
As to the issue of authors being nominated multiple times in the same category, I've always thought that when it's voted on, that actually hurts the author's chance of winning because it splits their votes. If their readers/fans can only vote once, which story do they vote for? If that author has SO many readers that their votes split four ways is still more than the other person gets, they would win anyway, regardless of how many times they were nominated. So Krystle, I wouldn't worry about it. Mare has a good point about the Emmys being set up the same way.
Alexsgirl_ritz:
Yay! The nominations started when I was not around, but I still have 29 days to nominate. And filling out a nomination form is on the top of my to do list today! :)
Just a clarifications .... so there would be no Best Author and Best new author this year? Just like what Julie won last year...
