User blog:Smash The Echidna/SFW Summer Awards 2015



Welcome, one and all, to the SFW 2015 Summer Awards!



It's Summer Time, everyone! And you know what that means! It's the fourth anniversary of the SFW Seasonal Awards! It's been a long road, but I think we've shaped this up into an event everyone can enjoy over the years. And it seems we've got some fresh new users this year, so let me give you all the rundown on how this works.


 *  Introduction 

The SFW Awards is a contest that opens up once every summer and winter. (Spring and Fall used to be a thing, but we decided to drop them recently. (Autumn awards never worked anyway.)) There are multiple categories in which you can enter a character or other such page to compete in.

There are regularly three phases to the SFW Awards: The Nomination phase, the Voting phase, and the Tiebreaker Phase. In the Nomination Phase, users fill up the categories with characters and pages to compete for the top. In the Voting Phase, everyone throws in their votes for whoever they believe is worthy of a point, and against anyone they deem unfitting for the award. People can vote for or against multiple nominees at a time. In the Tiebreaker Phase, people vote to break any ties made in the Voting phase. Any nominee who makes it to the Tiebreaker Phase and loses is awarded a Runner-up prize instead.

Winners of the SFW Awards will be granted a Medal on the top of their pages.

Nomination Rules Voting Rules
 * 1) Users are allowed to make three self-nominations per category .
 * 2) In the Autumn Awards, In order to submit more of their articles, users were required to nominate other people's pages. This is no longer valid: Three per category is the limit--No Exceptions.
 * 3) As always, we will post our nominations for each category in the comments. While nominating your own characters/pages are allowed, it's strongly encouraged that you nominate things made by others.
 * 4) All nominations must have a page, and it must meet standards. I will NOT accept sub-standard pages.
 * 5) No Canon Content Please! This is a Fanon Wiki, and such, we don't need to award any canon characters for their feats.
 * 6) Certain Categories are split in two. During the final round, both halves will be voted against each other. Only one will win them both, but the runner-up still gets a winning award for his/her respective half.
 * 7) 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.)
 * 8) A category MUST have a minimum of four nominations in order to pass into the Voting Phase. If it fails to meet these requirements, the category will be dropped and all the nominations inside will be disqualified.
 * 1) When Voting begins, you can either give someone a +1 or -1 vote. You can do this for as many characters in any category (except in the Final Round), though voting a +1 for your own articles is forbidden. (Exceptions in the Final Round may or may not be given depending on circumstances.) You are allowed to vote a -1 for your own character/article, should you feel it is undeserving of said award, however. (It is advised that you notify me before voting begins if there is a problem with your article being nominated. (of course that's a moot point now) )


 * 1) When voting, it is strongly advised that you either create a blog post listing all of your votes, or put all of your votes in a single comment. DO NOT make multiple comments for voting! This makes it unnecessarily confusing and complicated, and ultimately takes more time to tally up.
 * 2) Users are required to make at least one sentence describing the reasoning behind their vote, unless they are neutral.
 * 3) Though it is impossible to really enforce such a rule, please try to judge each nomination based on quality, logic, and experience (if possible). There have been suspicions of unfair judgements and concerns of overly biased votes. As the host, It is my responsibility to make sure this is as fair as possible. Thus, I will be moderating user votes. Do not worry, I won't be super strict. I cannot change people's opinions, however, should I find a vote that is most certainly injust, It may be voided from the final tally.
 * 4) Do NOT berate a user should they vote against your nomination.

With all that being said, let's get this started!
