Hey folks, I've started work on the ballot for the 2012 Ozformers Awards.
Voting will commence from 31 December 2012 and be open for about three weeks, with results announced on Australia Day 2013.
There were suggestions of pre-award nomination rounds for the creative sections, so you might see some of those in the next few weeks.
For the new members who've joined in the past year, here's a link to last year's results so you can see what I'm talking about.
Ozformer Member of the Year
Winner: Hursticon (30%)
Congrats Hursticon! :cool: I can see why you won this last year - you're always very helpful and friendly, and you've certainly helped make Ozformers a more pleasant experience for me at least. There's also a few other members here I would give this award to as well. :D
I've always questioned if there should be an Ozformer of the year. To me it seems an award not needed as everyone on this board is always helpful and friendly;):)Quote:

I had a similar idea, except it involved the best tfs of the year. But this will work too. I wish you all luck.
Will there be categories or something, like best seller or something?
I was gonna start a 'top 5 TF releases of 2012' thread. Does this cover that?Quote:

It covers just about everything TF related if I remember last years properly;):)

It's your awards, so whatever is easiest for you, or best in your mind.

Anything of note that I'm missing? Please feel free to add your own stuff if I overlooked it. There will be an "other" option of course in the voting form.
I think I'll make it a three vote option so you vote for fave, second fave and third fave to share the love around.

I have like a dozen or so more drawings which I'm uploading soon.
EDIT: 10 new photos of my TF art book.:D
Just read the results from the previous one of these. Great idea, can't wait to vote in this years one.
Due to unexpected family concerns that have come up this weekend, the award voting will be a little bit delayed. The voting form was almost done so I will try to finish it and share it over the next few days.
no problems dude, you do what you gotta do and look after yourself/familyQuote:

I never expected my Photo Comics to be nominated anyway so that was a pleasant surprise. I'm only new here so to have my stuff listed alongside some of the awesome work of the board's more established members, is a true privilege.
Good luck everyone.
I dedicate my Megatron drawing to you, Megatron, as you love him so much and you are a member who has really came with a bang on this forums.Quote:

Aw, thanks dude! I really appreaciate it. Then I might add your Megs drawing as part of my rotating sig, if you don't mind. :DQuote:

And thanks for checking out my new fic! :) I don't expect to win or anything, I'm just happy to share my love of Transformers with everyone here - that's more than enough for me.
Many thanks for your compliments Megatron, I do try to do my best and was very lucky that others thought so highly of me in 2011 but in saying that; Like many others have expressed, OZformers is the benefactor of a vast number of great people and many are more deserving of the title than myself. ;):)Quote:
