Art Categories and Nominees for 2009
I’ve never done this before. So I was pleasantly surprised and flattered that Grizzlor asked if I wanted to head up the art awards.
Most of following categories were borrowed from Azmom’s list of 2008 (which were borrowed from Link’s 2007 list). Some stuff I tweaked, and some stuff I left out all together.
The list of nominee artists and art pieces are ones that have been selected for their entries in the year 2009. You are not limited to only those found here on the lists. If you happen to know an artist or art piece that fits the criteria of one or more categories, please feel free to nominate them by providing a url so that we, the volunteered staff, may check up on their validity.
To keep anonymity, please pm me on here or email me with any nomination at jstonewade@yahoo.com. You may nominate yourself, but to be fair, please also nominate some one else as well.
Deadlines for nominating & voting are as follows...
nomination deadline = wednesday march 10
voting begins = monday march 15
voting ends = wednesday march 24
results shown = wednesday march 31
Thank ya much!
