Alright guys, voting will be a bit different this year! We are going to be doing preferential ballots, so pm your ballots to BOTH ME AND SPAGHETTI and then rank them in order of your preference. The winner must have 50% or more #1 votes, if it doesn't, then the bottom ranked contender will be eliminated and whoever ranked it at number 1's vote will then go to their number two choice and so on. This is for EVERY CATEGORY as a way to help prevent vote splitting. BALLOTS ARE DUE FEBRUARY 17th AT 11:59pm PCT NO EXCEPTIONS. The ceremony will be Sunday February 19th! Happy voting!

Details are being worked out and will be told shortly!
