STARGATE FAN AWARDS
2005
Categories
Categories must have a minimum of four nominees in order to run. If this
isn't reached, where possible the category will merge with another. Example:
If the Bob the Wraith category doesn't receive enough nominations it will
merge with Other.
If a pairing or character in Other has four nominees they will receive
their own category as long as the 'Other' category still holds enough
(4)
nominees to run without them.
Nominations
Previously nominated videos,
fan art, and fanfiction cannot be eligible for nomination. A full list of
all previous nominated videos, fan art, and fanfiction will be found on the
A-Z page. Anyone can nominate videos, fan
art, and fanfiction; including the artist/author who made them.
A nominated video, fan art, and/or fanfiction may only appear in two
Specific Categories (see
How to
Nominate). When a video/art/fanfiction has been nominated in more
than two specific categories, the awards team will contact the artist/author
to determine which categories, from those it has been nominated in, would they
like it to be placed. Where the artist can not be contacted or has no
preference, the awards team reserves the right to select the two categories
that the video/art/fic will appear.
Only four videos/fics/art per artist/author can appear in each Individual
Category (see
How to
Nominate) . If the artist/author can not be contacted or has no
preference, the first four videos/art/fics nominated will appear in the
category.
Voting
In case of a tie, a tie-breaker will be held after all the votes are in and regular voting has closed.
I do track names, e-mail addresses and IP addresses for
votes, and will be watching for 'ballot stuffing'. In the event that this
occurs, a warning will be issued and the votes discounted. Should further
votes be received after a warning, the videos/art/fics in question will be
disqualified, and the artist/author may be banned from future contests.
Campaigning
Campaigning for nominations or votes, either for yourself or
someone else, is forbidden. Anyone caught doing so will be given a
warning, and then risk permanent disqualification from the awards. If you
campaign for someone else, you are risking their disqualification.
Awards
The 'Editors Choice' which is only given to the award team's favorite video/art/fanfiction and 'Best Overall Artist/Author' categories where only first place will be awarded, with an Honorable Mention if deemed appropriate. The winner of 'Best Overall Artist' will be determined by results in other categories.
