I need to set a time, I can never tell when it is past midnight for you guys. I'm already almost 10 hours into the first of June here. When does it become first of June in America? :P

And yeah, feel free to get nominations in whenever you want. Well, before the voting date. I suggest making your list all pretty ASAP. Because once people start nominating, even if you make it nice before voting starts it might be too late. (People don't know you made your list nice or they don't want to change their nominations)

Why? Too many things running at a time sometimes confuse people. Besides, this way we have more activities running throughout MAL at different times.

I don't think that's a good idea. Ever since *cough*a certain*cough*someone*cough* started to use pictures on the profile page, people started putting way too many pictures in there using text on those pictures no one can read. In cotrast to the anime list and the signature, that place wasn't supposed to be visually outstanding. I think having list and sig awards is sufficient.

lol... who would that be...? :P
"way too many pictures" (I'm guilty has charged ^^)

It was just a wild idea that crossed my mind, so I had to post. It could possibly be good to have people work on filling their profiles.

I'm also ok with the current awards.. so I'll leave that to you guys ^_^

Important dates have been updated. Nominations and Voting for Best List Design and Best Signature Design will now run for two weeks each. Voting for Best List Design and Nominations for Best Signature Design will happen at the same time (and the Art Jams and whatever else we have).

Now everyone has more time to participate. So participate!

Updated dates now. So yeah, seperating anime and manga list designs. Anyone who wants to enter the manga list design contest better start working on their lists now. Rules won't be posted until nomination begins for that but I WILL NOT allow a user to be nominated if their anime and manga list is the same thing at the same time and they were in the top 10 of the anime list design contest. Meaning that if their manga list uses the same design as their old anime list (current anime list design is different) that's fine. Although I wonder if people will nominate old designs anyway.

Confusing? Uhh.. bottom line, just have a different anime and manga list to make our lives easier. Don't read manga? Don't purposely fill in your manga list with fake entries. That's pretty retarded. Either start reading manga or try to make a list design that compliments little entries or just forget about it and work more on your anime list design or signatures.
