Papa Bear
Awards 2017
How to
Vote
Now that the
list of nominations is published, each person can cast 3 votes in
each category.
But it’s
okay to vote for 1 or 2 as well – or for none at all.
♦
How does
this voting for 3 work?
An example
with non-existent stories:
Nominated:
Hogan's Dog
Carter's Rabbit
Klink's Mouse
Schultz's Cow
Newkirk's Monkey
Kinch's Gopher
LeBeau's Cat
Voter A just loves all these
stories, but having to choose three,
he gives 1 vote to Carter's Rabbit, 1 vote to Kinch's Gopher, and
1 vote to Klink's Mouse.
Voter B is very particular that Hogan's
Dog is the best story.
So he decides to give Hogan's Dog his vote, and doesn't use his other 2
votes.
Voter C thinks Newkirk's Monkey
and Schultz's Cow are by far the best - the rest are definitely of less
quality.
So he gives 1 vote to Newkirk's Monkey, and 1 vote to Schultz's Cow,
and doesn't use his last vote.

And in the
quote category are you allowed as many votes as you want – even if you want to
vote for them all!
The easiest
way of compiling the list of your votes is by using the template.
Votes are
accepted by email: papabearawards@yahoo.com
Or by ffnet
PM to Papa Bear Awards.
https://surveyplanet.com/58a99330b8c13d0abe2564bf
Make sure
you include your real name and – if you have one – your ffnet or AO3 ID.
Alternatively,
it is possible to vote in an easy online survey. No Yahoo account necessary
anymore!
https://surveyplanet.com/58a99330b8c13d0abe2564bf
Please
observe that – if you vote in the survey – you cannot vote by email as well,
and vice versa.
It´s either
one or the other.
The honour system applies!
The voting
is open to everyone who enjoys Hogan's Heroes fanfiction.
In the category index of this site you can find
links to the different categories.
There is a link
to every nominated story on the respective category's site.
Only the quotes and the teasers are published directly on the site,
and no further reading into their stories is necessary.
As with the
nominations, you are not required to vote in every category.
Before
voting for the best entry in a certain category,
please try and make every effort to acquaint yourself with all the
nominated work in that category,
so that you are able to make a well–considered decision!
And if you
don't have the time to do all the categories
it's better to constrict yourself to a few categories and make a
well-considered vote there
than to cast a quick vote in every category – that wouldn't be fair to the
authors, would it?
In this
round, authors are allowed to vote for their own work,
if they indeed consider their own work to be the best in that specific
category.
But be honest about it!
Winners will
be announced after the votes are tabulated.
A Gold, Silver and Bronze award will be awarded for each category – if applicable.
Final day
for casting your votes is:
Friday,
April 7th, 2017
So read,
enjoy and vote!
