User blog:Shadow7615/The 2nd Death Battle Fanon Wiki Awards!

Hey Guys!

So, if you're not aware, last year, my good friend Fedora Lord Para 348 hosted the original and first Death Battle Fanon Wiki Awards, and with his recent withdrawal from the Wiki, I decided to take up the reigns of hosting the 2nd Annual DBF Wiki Awards, which is the blog you find yourselves on!

So, if you're already familiar with what happened in last years Awards, then you're all up to speed, if you're not aware of the Awards, then allow me to take the time to explain how these Awards operate.

We collectively gather a number of different categories that a Death Battle would fall under, such as, "Best Season Finale", "Most Emotional Battle". users input what categories and then we decide on which will be chosen and so on, and then once we have decided on what categories we want in, then we nominate fights to fill in those categories, then it's all up to voting, which is where the users of the wiki will decide which Top Three fights will take home the medals!

For this year, we are going to bring this back, however for this years polls, I will be implementing some rules to make sure entrants are suitable and are evenly balanced amongst users.

Death Battle Fanon Wiki Awards Rules & Criteria '''​1. The battles you enter must have been completed between January 1st, 2016 and the closing of entries. (Date TBD)'''

'''​2. A user may enter up to three fights in a category, Each user may submit their own fights, however they are only allowed to enter one fight of theirs per category, up to six fights of their own at maximum.'''

'''​2b. Each user may also nominate the fights written by other users as well, If someone else enters a fight before you do, duplicate nominations prior to voting will only take into account the first nomination by a user, the exception being fights written by multiple users.'''

'''​2c. If you are entering a combination of your own battles and battles by others, please keep the above rules in mind, example, if you nominate a fight of your own for "Most Emotional Battle" you have only two more entries left for said category, you may vote in every category if you wish, but you do not have to vote in each of them.'''

'''​3. For categories that are often associated with a big word count, overall, a specific word count will not be required, although it is recommended fights you enter have a suitable word count, but word counts will not influence their placement.'''

'''​4. Above all, please be respectful with people's choices in both category nominations and fight nominations, however, all entries for nominations will be overviewed and if approved, will be displayed on the lists featured below.'''

Now that the criteria and rulings have been established, it is time to begin nominating for categories, all of 2015's categories are listed below, and the list will be updated as the list becomes bigger.
