We have one new category this week:

Best Animated GIF. This category has some pretty interesting nominations.

The following categories are still at risk of automatic disqualification if
more nominees aren’t added.

Best Visual Effects Supervisor (1 nomination so far)
Best Homemade Trailer (1 nomination so far)
Best Quote (1 nomination so far)
Best Sean Connery Appearance (1 nomination so far)
Best Official Movie Trailer (1 nomination so far)
Best Homemade Star Wars Trailer (No nominations so far – There are two pending nominations)
Best Operating System (1 nomination so far)
Best i-think Prank of All Time (1 nomination so far)

Remember, categories need 2 or more nominations to be legitimate.

Category Managers, be sure to watch your pending nominations closely to
avoid double ups. If you don’t feel up to managing a category, it can be transferred to another user. Similarly, if you want to manage a new category, let me know and I’ll set it up.

Hmmm…. messages like:

User added (assuming there are no errors). Gee I was half-arsed in making this.

Are not great to see, particularly when you are the one that wrote them. Mind you, the system has been working for three years, so it can’t be all that bad. Nevertheless I shall rewrite it one day to integrate with WordPress. Must fix those “addslashes” bits as well. Stupid server changes and lazy coding (never a good mix).

Yes, week 2 of the weekly updates. Here are the dates as they stand now:
Closing of acceptance of new categories: May 15th
Nominations close: May 31st
Voting Starts: June 1st
Voting Closes: June 26th 10am
Awards Dinner to be held on: Sunday, 26th June.

This is the first of the weekly updates to keep you informed about the status of the i-think Awards. Via e-mail I will always put the basic details, such as dates, with more flushed out via the i-think Twenty-Two website.

But first, some dates…
Currently the awards dinners is likely to be either on the weekend of June 26th or May 3rd. The preference is for a Saturday night. The final date will be decided when Will works out when he is going to be in Brisbane.

This means that nominations will need to close at the end of May. New categories will stop being added at about mid-May (so that nominations can take place). Voting will be available once nominations have closed up until 10am of the day of the awards.

Preparation has begun for the 2005 i-think awards to be held tentatively in late June. The site has been cleaned and prepared for this 5th year of awards. Be sure to make a nomination and let me know if you need your username/password so you can vote.
