As of now, a new rule is in effect. This used to be a personal rule of mine, but I feel that it should be expanded toward everyone.

Any winning article of a certain category cannot re-enter said category again. The only exceptions are Best Character (must have won Best Male/Female, but not the Best Character award to enter.) and Most Attractive Character (must have won Most Handsome/Most Beautiful, but not the Most Attractive Award to enter.)

Due to this rule, certain nominations have been disqualified.

Others that have yet to be added will simply be declined. This is to keep certain characters from hogging the same awards to themselves.
 * Jared Infiern from Best Neutral
 * Ryushu the Cat from Best Fursona
