Hello! We're kicking off the Awards process on July 24. Voting will be live then and run through July 31. You'll vote this site (it's not complete yet).

As of July 27th, we have enough presenters! Please continue to sign up for panels as we are in definite need of panelists and judges. Thanks so much for your interest, and don't forget to encourage your fellow Duckers to vote!

Panelists/Judges!
We want at LEAST three panelists for each category, and you can sign up for more than one category. Remember that, as a panelist, your job is to read all the comics in your category and make an unbiased decision (and not tell anyone outside your group who you picked, haha). We would prefer to assign categories at random to volunteers, so please don't request particular ones. You'll have a couple weeks to come to a final decision as a group. JustNoPoint set up a forum offsite where discussions concerning the nominees can be done in private, and only panelists in a particular category will be able to see discussions for that category. You can also use the PQ/email system to discuss things - entirely up to you. When a winner has been selected, you'll PQ me ^.^ If you sign up, please let me know your non-DD contact info (email, AIM screenname, whatever) and whether or not you are over 18 (so I don't force you to read dirty comics).

Amanda I would love to be a Presenter or anything you need. I would love even to just help out for the awards..... so if you have any spaces i'd love to be involved!

Good job as usual!

Man... those sure are a lot of categories. I've never paid attention to this Drunk Duck awards but I'm going to do so, this year.

thanks for getting all this together amanda.

i remember doing the first one mostly myself, almost drove me crazy.

Why hello, 'manda.

Sign me up for any panelist slot(s) you need.

Same goes for presenting. I'ze down fer whatevaz, gurl.

I'm excited to help out.

Sub, you had all the cool effects =] Mine's pretty small potatoes in comparison! What 3d program did you use?

Nice to have you aboard, Product - if you want to present or judge, please let me know!

I'm going to kind of hold off on category assignments unless they're specifically requested. I don't want to accidentally assign a category and have that person be a finalist =D

I'll present too.

Edit: I think you might've missed one on your list that you had on the description site. I don't see Best Completed Comic (the completed project one is there though). I could've missed it though.

I'm up for at least 3 judges panels, i'm hoping to get on more art related panels if you can do that hehe

I'll be a panelist for two panels. I would prefer offensive, humor, or something about art, but, whatever is needed!

Exciting stuff~!

This actually seems pretty cool...Sign me in for presenter...

I'm able to do anything required, be it panelist or presenter. (So yeah, both)

This is exciting to me. :D I've never witnessed DrunkDuck awards before. Too bad I don't have the time to be a panelist or a presenter due to my busy schedule, but it seems like this will be very fun.

Id be very happy to be a panelist/judge for this years.

Awesome, it's great to see so many people signing up this quickly =D

I would love to be a presenter if it's possible to the humor comic category, and also a panelist for three categories, if you mind.

Question...

So we decided not to have a "best dialogue" category? I thought there was a lot of support for that. It sucks that one year we have best story writing and the next best dialogue. Why can't we have both?


Btw, I'd be happy to help out as a presenter and panelist. Maybe the All-Ages category? I'd also go for the panel of website design.

I will help in whatever section you require, be it judging, presenting, or panelist.

Thanks!

I would love to present for one of the catagories! Thank you for letting us do this! :D

Also, I'd like to make a nomination for best horror comic. How do we do that?

Hinata, once the ballot goes live, you'll be able to put in your nominations. Check this site for the ballot starting July 24!

I'd love to be a presenter for this years awards. I had a good time with this last year.

I did not get a chance to participate in last years (I was an secondary but did not do anything)
I would love to toss my hat in the mix this year... Panelist as well as a presenter please!!!

=D Yay for volunteering!

Also, UsedBooks... I figured dialogue would be covered in writing. I dunno. I think it'll work out without being an issue.

Eh, I figured since we had a whole discussion/vote about it, and most people said they were very unique things/talents and supported two awards that it was a given that that was what was going to happen...

It has always been my pet peeve that people lump dialogue writing and story writing together when they are very different -- or they think writing only refers to dialogue (having separate awards would clarify).

But I guess it's okay. We haven't had two awards before, but I campaign for them every year, and I guess I shall do so next year. *shrugs*

^.^ I'll be kind. Just this once, mwahaha! Then it's back to tyranny and villainy and the like. It's added.

I'll be a presenter again.

I would like to be a presenter, but I can also be a panelist if required.

Hey, sign us up for anything. It would be great if we could get involved in this.

EDIT: Although being a presenter would be awesome. :D

I'm game for anything. I would just like to participate in some capacity.

Yeah I would love to judge again this year, I guess anything would be fine, but you know I am best with manga and romance type things.

And you know from last year I can be a lead presenter or if needed a backup presenter since I can deliever pretty quickly.

Excited for this year too! Glad to see the catagorys are so awesome this year too!

Kind of glad they seperated Best Overal Story comic and Best Overall Strip Comic, since they are different.

Well hope things go well- super excited.

I'll do the presenter thing... sounds like fun!
