Numbers: A Message From Niccea

Niccea

on June 27, 2012

I don't mean this to sound harsh or anything, it is just numbers really. I'm posting this here to remind people who haven't done so yet to go volunteer for the awards. The commitment will just be during August. That isn't so bad compared to the fact that my comitment started before May and will carry until the middle of September or when everything for the awards is done (whatever comes second).
 
Voting will happen during most of July. And, August will be here before we know it. By August we need a minumum of 41 volunteers, though there will possibly be more than that needed depending on the division of labor. My math for judging is based on the fact that every category gets three judges and every judge manages an average of three categories. If we could get 50 judges (still only doing three categories) we will be able to have 4 judges per category which is what JustNoPoint found ideal.
 
So, if you got the time in August, take some time to volunteer. It will help make this the best year for the Awards yet. And, if I fill all my slots for volunteers, I will be very happy and find the extras something to do. (Maybe even a special surprise for the awards).
 
Many thanks,
Niccea

P.S. Thanks to all the volunteers that have already signed up.
