Welcome to the voting for the fifth annual Golden Poster Awards. Established half a decade ago, these awards are a way for the community to recognize their own as being valued contributors to the boards. A few years back, I heard from many folks that it'd be easier if there were a ballot. Last year was the first year for a real ballot, and I got fewer votes than the previous year. I've taken the time to throw one together again, but remember - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO VOTE FOR ONE OF THE LISTED NOMINEES. Write-in votes are encouraged if you feel there's someone deserving of a vote who was not listed. I don't read every post/thread, it's likely I missed a great poster through no fault of their own. Anyone who registered for an account before yesterday is eligible to vote. The same eligibility requirement are in place for winning awards as well, except for Rookie of the Year, which is only available to posters who have joined within the last eyar. Please take the time to vote in as few or as many categories as you feel like. The vote was pushed later this year for a few reasons, but because of this, the voting period will be much shorter. Ballots should be sent to me by PM on or before May 1/14. Please make sure the subject clearly denotes that the PM is a Golden Poster ballot. Only I will know the specifics of who you have voted for. Award winners will be announced in early May. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I only have 11 ballots in I don't think I have voted in this in a few years now. It is always biased to Halifax because they have more posters ... and they like their own people and anybody else is a troll. I really don't see a need for it ... it is nice to be recognized ... but in the end a meaningless distraction.

A lot of posters I don't see a lot of because I only sometimes venture over to other boards and a lot of the posters from out of town don't visit Moosetalk.

So is allstar voting in pro sports. Its a fun way to recognize some of those who keep the board active and interesting, thats all. As for the Halifax comment by Steve- every board has their own category and there have been countless non-moose fans winning the votes for sub- categories. If 7 of 10 "allstars" were moose fans you may have a point but what was it last year....2? 3?

I only have 11 ballots in have the admins all get together and vote.....pick them that way. Hard to believe though, that out of 1630 members you only got 11 ballots. It takes 3 minutes to complete it.

It takes 3 minutes to complete it. Of that how many are active tho? Especially since the Bathurst posters all took their ball and went to a different board.
