## How it works

* Nominations can be submitted in the linked comment thread for about 1 week.
* Nominations that were submitted via [the rolling nomination form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdXfrR4Z00hKgjImGJ1OaWW04usyet4Uhzgw9qZDWJnfk7Ukg/viewform) throughout last year will be included. You do not have to nominate again.
* After the nominations are closed, a separate google form will be posted for the 1st round of voting. This round will determine the top 5 of each category.
* The top 5 nominees go forth into the final round of voting. This round will determine the ultimate winners.
* If there are less than 5 nominees in a category, the winner will be determined in the first round and that category won’t have a final round.
* Winners will be featured in the sub wiki!
