Starting on March 9, 2003 RealityTVWorld will be accepting open nominations for all award categories. Any registered message board user may nominate for an award. Open nominations will continue until March 24, 2003 at midnight ET. At that time the Blowie Award Committee will vote in private on which nominees will appear on each award's ballot. Between 3-5 nominees will be selected for each category. Once the ballot is finalized, the 2003 RealityTVWorld Blowie Awards will be opened for voting by all website visitors. Voting will remain open for a pre-determined time period, then the ballots will be closed, the results tabulated, and the winners announced. Each user will only be allowed one vote.
On to the rules:
- DO NOT nominate a contestant who has already been previously nominated in that category. If you wish to discuss how worthy/unworthy a nominee is for an award, please discuss it in the RealityTVWorld Blowie Award Nomination Discussion Forum. Do not discuss it in this forum.
- DO NOT create any new forum topics. Keep all nominations in their original topic. We will not be creating any additional awards, so PLEASE do not suggest any new additional award categories.
- To be eligible, the show or series must have aired at least one episode during the 2002 calendar year on either broadcast or cable US television (yes, you Canadians and any Canada-only shows get screwed again!)
