In celebration of our Third Anniversary, we are pleased to announce the very first Many Paths to Tread "Tree and Flower" Awards!
Here are the rules:
1. Only stories posted at the Many Paths to Tread Archive are eligible.
2. Stories must be posted at the MPTT Archive by August 3 of this year to be eligible. All stories posted to the site prior to that date are eligible.
3. No self nominations.
4. Nominations will be made to screened posts at the LiveJournal Community. (If you have trouble accessing LiveJournal, you may email the mods at: aelfwina@gmail.com, virginia_lee_redcat@yahoo.com, or celeritassagittae@gmail.com. to make nominations for you.)
5. Stories may run in only one category; if the story is nominated in two or more categories the author may choose where to run it. Nominators may nominate one story per category, but may make nominations in as many categories as they wish.
6. Nominators are permitted to promote the stories they have nominated, though they cannot ask people to vote for any particular one.
7. Nominations will open on August 10, and will run through August 24.
8. The first round of voting will begin on August 27, and will continue to September 14. Votes may be cast in a poll at the LiveJournal Community or in a poll at the LOTR_GFIC_Community Yahoo!Group. Voters are asked to vote at only ONE of the polls.
9. The winners in each category will run in a second round of polls to select the top four winners overall. Voting for that round will begin on September 17, and run through September 20. Overall winners will be announced on September 22.
10. Places will be first, second, third and Honorable Mention in each category, and in the overall round.
This is a simple old-fashioned "ticky-box" awards, but we hope everyone will enjoy participating in it! Come and help us celebrate our Third Anniversary!

This is such a great idea, and I love the banner :)
Yes, I love the banner, too. :)
And I suppose that choosing September 22nd as the day of proclaiming winners is not accidental, is it? *grins*
And thanks for the compliment on the banner. I am having a lot of fun at LunaPics.

And what if you update a story after the third?

And the banner is just so beautiful. (Plus, it brings snow to my melting-from-the-heat brain. That is such a nice feeling)
105F high here, 115F heat index. How is it in your neck of the woods?
LOL, thank you for askin....
(I really shouldn't complain. It's "only" 88F ....)
Hey guys, let's give Barbara a huge hand for keeping us all running and up to date when some of us are not available!! You ROCK, girl!
(((Dreamflower)))
Are the categories mentioned above those the Archive uses already or categories specially for the contest? Will there be guidelines to let us know which categories we can nominate for?
Congrats on your noms, BTW! One of them I wanted to make myself, and someone beat me to it!
