So, there we have it; the finalist list for the 2010 Ollies!

The Voting Form can be found via the TMU Forums (for some reason I can't get a link to work tonight ;(); this form is slightly different from the previous one, as it e-mails a copy of itself to me as well as storing the database.

RULES
1) ALL categories must be voted on; no abstentions in Phase Two!

2) As ever, you cannot vote for yourself or you will be disqualified!

3) Again, no canvassing for votes or you will be disqualified.

4) If you make a cock-up on the submission, PM me or Tom on here and we will sort it out for you.


And there we have it!


You have until midnight, UK time on 30th September 2010 to complete your form and get it in.

Get your Ollies Nominations In!
You only have until midnight UK time on 21 August to submit your nominations for this year's TMU Ollie Awards; nominations so far have been very few in number and unless we get enough, it will make a mockery of the purpose of having a free vote for the first round.


There are a ton of prizes, submitted by the very kind folks at Moviestorm, Reallusion, CeltX and some of the wonderfully generous iClone content creation community, so don't sit on your laurels (or any other part of your anatomy, come to that!).  Make sure that you visit the forums, check the rules and get those nominations submitted!

Oh... and tell your friends!
