Now Accepting Nominations for The 2009 Forvm Awards For Numismatic Excellence!

[Pep]

Hello Everyone,

The process for the 2009 Forvm Awards For Numismatic Excellence is now underway!

Now is the time to submit your nominations.  Later on in the polls we will conduct based on your submissions, we will be giving 1st Place (Gold), 2nd Place (Silver), and 3rd Place (Bronze) Awards to the sites that garner the most votes.

But, first thing is first so here is what you need to know in order to nominate sites:

-  You may nominate up to five Numismatic Excellence Recipients.

-  To be eligible, sites must have previously won a Standard Forvm Website Award For Numismatic Excellence and must have displayed the Award Logo (or a previous Annual Forvm Website Award Logo if won) by 0000 GMT 16 November 2009.  For your convenience, the eligible sites are listed below.

-  It does not matter in which order you list your nominations.  You may even simply give the numbers listed by the candidate names below in your message to us.

-  WildWinds and roth37 Editor "on line" won the Lifetime Forvm Award For Numismatic Excellence in years past by winning Gold Awards twice and are thus ineligible for this and future contests.

-  Submit your nominations to only one of the following Committee members.  Do not submit them to more than one Committee member.  If you have less than a certain number of posts on the FORVM Discussion Board, the board programming will not allow you to send Personal Messages.  Instead, please send your nominations with your FORVM username to:

----------------------------------------

Certain sites have been given the award for portions of their site, and these are listed in italics where applicable.  Certain sites also have their subject matters listed in plain black (non-italicized) lettering.  Dates for when the award was given are also listed (mm/dd/yy).  Sites belonging to members of Forvm's Discussion Board are listed in maroon, and their Forvm screen names are listed in maroon and parenthesis.

Sites or content in languages other than English have said languages noted in green.  Sites that offer full or near-full translations in multiple languages have them listed with "and"s.  Sites partially translated into multiple languages or with different sections in different languages have the latter listed with commas.  Sites with only menus, introductions, or other non-content features in different languages have them listed in italics.  English translations are offered when webpage design and translator-availability permit.  When isolated sections of content exist for different languages on a site, direct links to them may be given as well.  When present, you can access these features by clicking on a/the green language-name noted by a desired site.

Here is the section from The Official Rules thread that pertains to the Annual Awards in case you need to refer to it for technicalities not addressed above:

"11.  At the end of each year, there will be an Annual Awards Process to give Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards to the most acclaimed of our Recipients of the Standard Award For Numismatic Excellence.  Recipients must display the Standard (and/or Annual, if applicable) Award Logo(s) they previously won to be eligible.  Recipients in the "Recipient Websites That Have Gone Offline For More Than Six Months" Section are ineligible.
11a.  A Recipient who comes in First Place in a given year will be eligible to win the Gold only one more time.  Upon winning the Gold a second time such a site will be given a special Lifetime Award and will not be eligible to run again in the Annual Awards.
11b.  All Standard Award Polls will cease during the Annual Awards Process.
11c.  During the later part of November and into early December, nominations will be accepted as such:  a member submits up to five sites they would like to see in the Finalists Poll for Numismatic Excellence.  Normally, the eight sites that receive the most nominations plus any sites that tie with the eighth site on that list will be entered into the Finalists Poll.  Sites must receive at least two nominations in order to be eligible for said poll, except when less than six sites receive two or more nominations.  If fewer than eight sites are nominated, then that will just be the number of sites in said poll.
11d.  During the later part of December, the Finalists Poll for Numismatic Excellence itself will take place.  Board members may vote for up to three candidates and change or remove their votes in the poll as long as it is open.  The sites that garner the most votes will receive the respective Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards.  Sites that tie for First, Second or Third Place will all receive the respective Awards."
