Scott Plischke Memorial Awards Nominations Thread

[Schmleff]

All,

Here are the details on how to nominate and vote for the awards. Sorry about the short time frame for this but I have been totally slammed.

Nominations will stay open through Friday. Please reply to this thread with your nomination and which award you are nominating them for. No need to second a nomination to have them added to the ballot.

On Saturday morning, a blind poll (nobody can see who you vote for) will be opened for voting. Voting will close at noon on Wednesday the 30th. The winners will be announced that evening at the Sonerai Picnic. If you are attending, you will get your trophy on the spot. If you can't make it, we will ship it to you.

If you need clarification, please let us know!

Here are the official awards with their descriptions:
