• Authors may NOT declare which submission is theirs during the voting period. Anonymity is the name of the game for now. You may not ruin anonymity for yourself or anyone in this competition.
• You may comment on submissions in their respective voting thread after you have voted. However, and disclosure of the author of a submission is NOT ALLLOWED. Have I made that clear enough yet?

Awards

Awards for the winners:

Medallions shall be decided by the general membership.
Reputation shall be decided by the Chief Librarian. As it stands, 50 rep for non-medal winning runner-ups and 25 for non-medal winning second runner-ups.

Librarian's Choice Award:

The winner of this award shall be decided by Librarian popular vote.


NO MORE THAN ONE ENTRY PER MEMBER IN EACH CATEGORY. MEMBERS MAY WIN ONE MEDAL ONLY. IN THE EVENT THEY WIN MULTIPLE MEDALS, ONLY THEIR ENTRY WITH THE HIGHEST OVERALL VOTES WILL RECEIVE A MEDAL, AND THEIR OTHER SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY EQUAL OR LESSER MEDAL. Librarians shall clerically administer the competition. Librarians shall not be voting on medals except on the "Librarian's Choice" medal, which is a private poll and will be announced in the end with the rest of the awards. A public poll shall be created and the general membership shall select a medal winner among the submissions for each category.








The first round of voting will last 10 days from the opening of the polls (today, March 5th). The final round of voting is pending.

As for voting rules, are authors allowed to vote? Must they vote for a submission other than their own?

[Hader]

Anyone can vote for any entry. As long as anonymity is not broken.
