It is I, Queen Award, First of Her Name (thank goodness I left it at that and didn't add my other titles--The Turnt Queen of the Alcohols, the Room, and the Floofy Mutts, Queen of McDonald's, Breaker of Glasses While Unloading Diswashers, and Mother of Brandog). The time for the 2016 Winter Ciddies has come! It's the time to knight our smallfolk and recognize our bastards, so please nominate so those you find deserving have a chance at winning a Ciddie! If you're lazy, you can likely expect some PMs or VMs from me or my Queensguard later this week!

Of course there are some rules...
1. You can nominate yourself for no more than five awards.
2. You can nominate any one member for no more than ten awards, excluding Cutest Couple.
3. Do not post your nominations. PM them to me, Queen Award.
4. You cannot make more than three nominations per award. If you do, I'll take the first ones you've nominated.
5. Changes/additions can be made however often you like. Please title any PM's with Changes as 'Nomination Changes' or 'Vote Changes', and the same for additions to your nominations.
6. People who are NOT currently couples shouldn't be voted as Cutest Couple - this is for people who ARE already couples.

And some other guidelines and tips!
1. You don't have to make nominations for every award.
2. When nominating, please think not of overall, but purely of the last six months.
3. All nominations are strictly confidential. You cannot publicly post your nominations or votes until after the final voting has occurred - a thread can be made for them a bit after the results are shown.
4. To be nominated into the second round for an award, a member must obtain at least two nominations in that award. However, should eight members all receive three nominations or higher, then the cut-off will be raised to three nominations, and the same for eight members receiving four nominations each, and so on.
6. I hold the right to reject any nominations/votes for any reason, most often this is that the member have been inactive in the forums or chatroom in the past six months.
7. Queen Award, First of Her Name, Election Booth and second accounts are only allowed to be voted for the MLT (Most Likely To...) Ciddies.
8. Banned members are only allowed to be voted for the Best Chatter and Most Missed Member Ciddies.
9. Staff members are not eligible for Best Veteran or Best Regular.
