Best of 2009 Awards

11-24-2009, 01:25 PM

It's almost the end of the year, so it's time to look back nostalgically for our inaugral (as far as I know...) WiiUsers Best of the Year Awards.

We've got some lovely categories this year, but before voting READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ABOUT THE VOTING PROCEDURE OR I WILL GO TO YOUR HOUSE AND BREAK YOUR SHINBONES! Frightfully sorry about that. Anyway, read up, yo.

First Round of Voting: Shortlisting - Tuesday 24th November to Saturday 5th December

In the first round, for each category, each member may pick three entries and submit them. The five entries per category with the most votes will become the shortlist for the next round of voting. You cannot give multiple votes to one entry, give half votes or anything like that.

Second Round of Voting: Decision - Sunday 6th December to Saturday 19th December

Once the shortlists are released, you can have another vote for each category. JUST ONE VOTE though. After this round, the entry in each category with the most votes will be adored and crowned the victor.

Now for the categories...

Member Awards

Yeah, all users are eligible. I've already cast my votes.
Also guys, if you want to use the thread for discussion, go ahead. You are not obligated to reveal your vote though.

Very nice

***Marthy*** · 11-25-2009, 01:01 PM

Heh, this looks fun. I need to think about some of those categories though. There are so many people who would qualify for them. (And the gaming ones, too.)
