Ok everyone, sorry for the delay. Here is your final voting ballot for the 2012 MOCie Awards!

First, please do NOT “reply” to this comment as something in here triggers moderation and we don’t want to have to approve 400 comments… thanks. Moving on.

Here’s how to vote…

Select your ONE favorite from each category and email your selections to us at:
mocieawards@gmail.com

Please, only ONE ballot from each member. Also, be SURE to add your MOCpages name at the beginning so we know who the votes are coming from (we can’t always tell from your email address).

Voting will be open until July 22nd (I was going to go with just 2 weeks but am giving it just a few more days for stragglers). After that, the votes will be tallied and your winners will be announced shortly after.

Good luck to all the nominees!

I've got a few questions about this Chris.

1. If we are in a category to be nominated, can we vote for ourselves?

2. Is email the ONLY possible way we can vote? I am probably going to be able to vote over email, but I'm sure some parents may not want their children to email a person from MOCpages. Just wondering if email is the only possible way to vote.

That should be it.

1. Absolutly you can vote for yourself!

2. Yes, email is the ONLY way to vote. It's not like they're sending their votes to some random stranger here either. You have to remember, I have access to all of your email addresses anyway (and being a MOD, would NEVER abuse that) so it's not like you're giving me anything new.

Got my votes sent...

Hey Chris.
You got the wrong link for Blake Baer's MOC for "Best Town".



This is the correct link:

Fixed it, thanks. You know with this many links and names, it was bound to happen. Surprised it was only the one actually...

Thanks!

Permalink

Voted, It was difficult I must say. good luck to all of the nominees.
Didn't realize I was one of them at first :P
Permalink

Sure thing. ;)

I voted!

Voted last week! (Forgot to write in the thread! :P)

Hehe, same here. :P

Well, I voted. (A while back...)

Same here 8)

Voted!

I've just voted! Good luck to everyone and well done to those who got this far. I feel privileged to have got through to this stage.

Also...

For people who have been nominated, as we don't get to find out who's actually won until the ceremony, do you need/want acceptance speeches from us?
Thanks,
--Blast--
Permalink

Ditto. >.>
Permalink

I just sent the most epic self-made voting ballot ever!
Permalink

And with only a couple of days left of voting, my votes have been cast (I send it to the mocie address via my personal email).

Ya know... maybe I should get to work on the awards show moc at some point...
Permalink

Yeah, that might be a good idea... ;) And as RK Blast already mentioned, should all the nominees be sending acceptance speeches or will you let the winners know who they are before the show?
Permalink

Maybe you could have the awards show in an old, rundown dirty warehouse in a seedy part of town. Or maybe you couldn't rent anywhere so you just have it outside in a grassy field (maybe have a bull come in to liven things up?). And I don't mean to nag or be annoying, but please try to include my sig-fig as security!
Permalink

Do I need to vote for every category? Because for some of the categories, like best bionicle, I feel that my vote would just screw up things considering I don't think I am the best judge of something I'm not very familiar with.
Permalink

No, you don't. There's already been some abstentions, but it would be nice to keep them to a minimum.
Permalink

Alright, thanks for clearing that up.
Permalink

Voted ;)
Permalink

Can we still vote today (the 22nd)? Either way, I sent in my votes just to be safe.
Permalink

Yes, today is fine. And this isn't like the MocOlympics or anything where there's a "super strict" cutoff so if someone sends them in at 12:01 AM we're not going to dismiss them.
Permalink

Ok then...

Votes are tallied and the winners have been decided!

I'm juuust about done with the build and I have most of the sigfigs of the winners done to the best of my collection's limitations.

I am going to be on vacation (starting tomorrow afternoon) for the next week or so, so I won't be around mocpages until early next week.

I'm hoping to get the awards show done (photographed) on Tuesday with a post hopefully Wednesday or Thursday (barring any "real life" that seems to always like to rear it's ugly head).

Thanks everyone for your participation and I'll see ya at the awards show!
~Chris.
