Just to say, the computer gods did indeed relent, and online nominations are now open for the Mithril Awards 2004.
Visit the online nominations form at the awards site ( http://www.viragene.com/tolkien ) to put forward your choices of fanfiction, poetry & research articles based on any of JRR Tolkien's works for this year's awards.
Any work completed between 1 April 2003 [edited to amend eligibility date*] and 1 April 2004 is eligible for nomination. Nominations close at midnight EST on 9 May 2004.
You can also help to decide the new Voters' Choice categories for this year by visiting our Voters' Choice poll at http://www.tavia.co.uk/VC/VC_poll.asp
The Awards Committee
The Mithril Awards are independent of any fiction archive, list or online community, although we welcome affiliation with other Tolkien sites to promote the awards.
Web: http://www.viragene.com/tolkien
LJ: http://www.livejournal.com/community/mithrilawards/
E-mail: mithrilawards@yahoo.com
*Edited to add: We've rolled back the nominations eligibility to 1 April 2003 after a suggestion from a fan that this would be fairer. If you've nominated already and wish to change your nomination to something written during this period, then drop us a line (mithrilawards@yahoo.com) and we'll make it so [whoops, wrong fandom slipping out there...]

I just wanted to pop in here and say that I've been collecting my list of Things to Nominate. (weee!) That process is complicated (a bit) by dates. I know quite a few things posted here were written a while back and just put here lately. Could folks please note the original publication date at the top of stories, so I don't accidentally nominate ineligible bits? (Really just an "I wrote this an age or so ago and am just now putting it up here" or "I actually finished this last summer but am just putting it up here" would be helpful.)
Thanks muchly! |

Viv,
Your list of stories to nominate sounds almost like a Christmas list filled with all sorts of good presents. I am sure that your list of stories will be as long as your arm, because you have reviewed so many good stories over the past year. Which reminds me, I need to check your latest reviews. Without a doubt that is the best way to find something to read on OSA.

No need to cross fingers: you can nominate the stories you especially like, even your own stories. The nomination form is here (please read the rules first, since some kinds of stories, like WIPs, aren't eligible). The main site link is http://www.viragene.com/tolkien/
Good luck! |

I used a test nomination page, I think. It said, "TEST ONLY - Do Not Use" formerly... does my application apply?

I honestly don't know. Might want to zat a note to the webmiss and ask if the nominations associated with your e-mail were included in the Master List. |

Hi Luthien
Do you know when you got the Test Only message? It will help us track down any problems!
By The Way--We've had over 360 stories nominated by 170 different fans! And we've still got until may. So keep sending them in--we want to find the best. |

Hi there -- There were a few nominations received during the testing phase, before the official opening, but where it was clear they were meant as real nominations not as tests, I did include them. There are some nominations in the database from the e-mail address you mention, Luthien. If you wish to check, then drop a line to mithrilawards@yahoo.com with the full details.
Cheers, Tavia (Mithril Awards Site Manager) |

No. This year we decided to keep nominations private, to avoid the inevitable hurt feelings. It's like the Academy Awards--you nominate without knowing who has been nominated already, and the list of nominees is private.
We may change this for next year, depending on feedback.
Nominate away! |
