From Central City Productions:
First Stellar Awards Ballot
Due to a number of discrepancies, the Nominating Committee is revising the FIRST Stellar Awards Ballot.
SAGMA members will be allowed to re-vote on the revised categories only. The voting will be online only and will be available from September 10, 2008 to September 16, 2008. Members will be restricted to voting the ballot one-time using their SAGMA membership number.
The results of this re-voting will determine which entries move forward to the final ballot to become Stellar Awards Nominees. Categories unaffected will be counted according to previously defined rules. The Committee determined that this is the fairest solution to remedy the discrepancies. Please follow the selection instruction on the ballot.
You may access the ballot by going to www.thestellarawards.com and selecting the Stellar Awards Online Ballot button.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to cultivate the process.
