Category Selection Nominations for May 2013
The May 2013 category selection will be the same as the other category selections we have done so far for 2013. We'll have one poll after all nominations are in; there will be no run-off poll. In case of a tie, I'll cast my vote as the tie-breaker.
* This thread will be open for 7 days or 21 fully seconded and thirded nominations (we don't want a poll that's too large), whichever comes first. * The poll will be up for 4 days. * Each member has three votes in this thread to use either as nominations or to second or third another members nominations. The story thus far: Quote:
Spoiler:
Nyssa has kindly volunteered to help out with the nominations (post #2). Thanks, Nyssa! Last edited by WT Sharpe; 01-05-2013 at 08:09 PM. |

Nyssa, thanks heaps for helping out with the nominations. With the moderators busy behind the scenes with the current Winter Murder Mystery contest, it sure helps out a lot.
BTW, I do hope everyone here is planning on sending those entries for a chance to win one of 10 great eReaders and other prizes. |
