Parlance is in charge of counting votes, you PM her your votes, it doesnt matter if you dont have a nominee for every category. However voting doesn’t open until December 1st I believe.

I’m new here, I’ve just seen this thread. How does this work? How do I vote? Can I?

Also, just because it hasn’t been posted for two pages, these are the categories.

Voting is now open! I’ll keep it open until December 31, 11:59pm PST, which is pretty consistent with the first awards – voting was open most of the month. I’ll post reminders once a week. Mods, would it be possible to pin this post until January?

I’ll announce the winners the first week of January.

Note that I changed Best Avatar to Poster with the Best Avatars.

*************

The Categories

Most Consistently On Topic Poster

Most Likely to Derail a Thread

Longest Thread That Hasn’t Been Derailed

Most Creative Poster

Best Rewrite/Poem

Most Willing to Voice Their Opinion

Most Respectful Even Through Disagreements

Most Likely to Cheer Up Someone in a Bad Mood

Most Likely to Post Things That Make You Go Hmmm…

Most Avid John Fan/Lennonista/Johnny Boy/Girl

Edit: RonNasty suggested another for the third group: Most informed on current Beatles news.

*************

Please PM me with your votes. And if you’re stuck on a vote for a single category, don’t let that stop you from voting on the others. 

Let me know if you have questions. Thanks!

I’ve looked through the list and have realized with some sadness that all I qualify for is, ‘to vote.’

I’m glad the baton has been taken by somebody – I won’t vote because all my votes would be uninformed/based on prior knowledge. But I’m glad to see it is alive.

Having just had a chance to reread this thread, I’d be okay with expanding best poem/rewrite to Most Creative Contribution in time for the awards this year. What say others?

@parlance so will this be changed or not?

^^ No problem.

Just in time for voting to begin tomorrow, I edited my “Drunken A” After Effects video to include a party-hardy Drunken Golden B!

I’m almost done mine, but some are so hard. I chose the first funny post I saw for that one, and don’t know who to put for biggest Ringo fan!

If I spoke prose you'd all find out, I don't know what I talk about.

Can buy Joe love!

Pshh, wanna have some sweets? *opens coat which is one of those coats you can hide anything in inside*

 

It would be nice to win something this year, as this is my third year on here and I’ve never even been nominated I think *a single tear rolls down cheek*

Y’all know I’m hilarious, witty, smart and beautiful right? *bats eyelashes*

That’s what happens when you are too good at too many things. It’s a gift and a curse!

When considering funniest post, don’t forget Beatleva’s “You shall not pass” : https://www.beatlesbible.com/fo…..2/#p142329.  George’s expression in the last photo (presumably when he got all things to pass, despite Gandalf’s admonition) cracks me up.a-hard-days-night-george-4

That would be eligible only if Beatleva created the gif herself.
