Nominations Open Tomorrow.
Isn't it funny how time seems to creep up on you so fast that when you thought you had weeks left - there it is!
Tomorrow sees the beginning of the nomination period for the upcoming Chipped Cup Awards! Exciting. We can't wat to see the fic and art put forward by the Rumbelle community this year!
So, you know all those fics you read and thought, "Wow! This is awesome!" Guess what? It's their time to shine. To help you out, here's a little summary of the rules pertinent to the nomination period:
Nominations open tomorrow (December 28th) and run through until 11:59pm on January 24th.
You can nominate any fic and/or art that has not already won either a TEA, or a CCA - don't worry we won't make you do the legwork and check, we have records from previous years.
Fics and art you nominated MUST have at least one chapter posted from a multi-chapter fic, or have been posted before 11:59pm on December 31st 2024 - yes, we will check - however, the fic does not have to have been posted in 2024. Older fics and art are welcomed, and encouraged to be among your nominees.
The only exception to the above rule is for the "events" categories, like Fluffapalooza and Rumbelle Secret Santa. Those fics can only be from works crafted in 2024 to participate in those categories. In addition, โBest New Artistโ and โBest New Authorโ nominations are reserved for people who started contributing works since January 2024
Authors and artists may nominate themselves, as well as campaign to have their readers nominate and then vote for them on the final ballot, in fact participants are encouraged to do so. Participantsโ FYC posts that tag the award event will be reblogged.
Full version of the rules is HERE, but I don't think that is accessible from mobile apps for some reason
