Drafts for this year's awards - 2007

[Malte279]

Hi!
Here is the first set of banners for the 10 awards to be issued this year. Some of these first drafts are recicled versions of awards which were not used last year, but I hope to find the time to create at least one more banner for every award so the winners can pick their favorite banner. One change I had to make was the fond used in the awards inscription. I would have liked to continue with Cooper Black, the Font that comes closes to the one used for the titles on the LBT movies. However with the reduced size of the awards Cooper Black becomes almost unreadable so I had to switch to Times New Roman (not quite as austere as Arial, but much clearer than Cooper Black when reduced to such a small size). Here they are:

I finished the drafts for the other five awards of the second set. I don't know if I can finish a third set before the end of the Award Voting, but if you have any suggestions or preferences for awards (which characters, particular scenes etc.), please let me know and I will see what I can do.
If you have any screenshots and much time it would be very helping if you could send them to more (the more I have to pick from for the awards the better the awards are going to be). Especially pictures that can be used for the fanart or projects award are rare. Also Screenshots for the singing awards (screenshots taken during the songs Always There and No one has to be Alone (but Always There in particular)) would be very helping.
Here are the second drafts:

I almost dread saying it but it appears you're trying to put too large of a font size on too small of a picture.  The third set especially.  Why not just do what you did to the 2006 awards?  I still can read them.

I have done some editing and I think the new results are more readable. Here they are.

Wow...the newest sets are amazing.  I think the winner of the award ought to choose which banner they want to display.

[Malte279]

Sure, that's the idea.

Alea iacta est.
The voting is over here are the results:
The Role Player Gamer Award goes to Threehorn
The Gamer Award goes to Lain_EX
The Friendliest Member Award goes to KingdomKey21
The Most Helpful Member Award goes to action9000
The Philosopher Award goes to DarkHououmon
The New Member Award goes to Novaflare
The Proactive Member Award goes to Ratiasu
The Fanart Award goes to Malte279
The Projects Award goes to DarkHououmon
The Feedback Award goes to Malte279

The winners of the awards may pick one of the drafts for their award and put it into their signature.

Of 29 Members entitled to vote by the end of the election 12 cast all of their votes while 3 members cast some but not all of their awards one of whom cast 8 votes, that is the minimum number of votes required to receive an award.
So the overall participation is slightly below 50%, a number which is slightly misleading due to the fact that some of the 29 people who qualified for participating in the vote didn't post in a very long while and may not be around anymore
It is now time for feedback on the whole business. What do you think of the award voting in general? Why did you participate / not participate? What should be improved, what should be kept the way it is? What are your suggestions for next year's award voting? Any thoughts on the matter are interesting for us. Please share your points of view to improve the whole thing
