Spreading the Word: WoM Awards 2010

Violet · 28-11-2010, 08:12 PM

In case there are people that don't visit the WoM as frequently as others, here's a message to let everyone know what's going on.

With the help of Tammi (Crests of Daylight) and Bea (Darlene_Ifnhsa), I will organize this WoM Award thing and finally make it happen. I think it's a good idea.

Anyway, these will take place after the usual awards, probably in December, around the time when people are also thinking of their 2010 Albums of the Year or whatever. Given that, there's still plenty of time for putting everything together. However, after talking with one of our fave mods (thanks, Dave, for letting me do this), I realize that it's never too early to set things up.

As this is the WoM Awards, this is for all of you who reside in here. It's for you guys who make mixtapes for the exchanges, who critique the albums that have just come out, who just love music. I want to know what you guys think and what types of categories of awards you guys would like to have. Please leave any suggestions you have here. If you guys have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Thanks.

UPDATE: Nomination Information

What's gonna happen is that you guys are gonna pick what you want for each category and PM your votes to my inbox. You can nominate up to 2 or 3 people for each category, and you are allowed to nominate yourself.

To make things easier, I'm going to set the deadline for nominations the same as the deadline for mixtapes, which is December 13. That is, unless enough people protest, in which I'll adjust it accordingly.

Disclaimer: Please continue to watch for updates on the first page. Things are always subject to change.

Thank you.

Hopefully, this helps.
