Hello everyone,
Voting is supposed to start in Season 107 and run to the end of Season 109
However, you can see below the state of nominations so far - which is dismal.
So far only two people have put forward any nominations for Seasonista Of The Year, and one person has seconded any of these nominations:
Seasonista Of The Year Nominations.
So far only 8 people have put forward nominations for Video Of The Year, and only about 3 or 4 nominations have been seconded. There have been no nominations from the last 7 Seasons of Year II:
Video Of The Year Nominations.
It appears evident also from the number of 'views' the 'Extravaganza' pages have received, (200 for the sticky at the top of this forum as compared to 7,500 for the Season just gone), that no-one in fact appears particularly interested in continuing with this award ceremony.
Last November, when (austin1) first posted that she would be unable to continue with the end of year Season's award ceremony, a great many people expressed their desire that this tradition continue, as I result of which I offered to take on the task, in order to give back something to the Seasonista community, from which I've taken so much inspiration.
I then spent around two weeks soliciting opinions on the best way to carry this event forward. I settled on a process that I hoped would give every Season and every contributor to every Season, a fair crack of the whip at getting nominated; a process also that addressed everyone's concerns (which were both loud and varied, and which further indicated interest), about being able to nominate and vote for an award.
I am very grateful to bonesigh, electrauke, eugene ukulele, frisbee fred, librainian, mattydee, ukecan1, ukuloonie and we tigers for their support in taking the time to make and second nominations.
I do not however propose to continue in the face of apparent overwhelming indifference amongst the vast majority of the Seasonista community toward this event.
So this is one final appeal for nominations, in particular for the Seasonista of the Year awards. Otherwise, I'm just going to have to walk away from this. I can't see any point in flogging a dead horse.
