Rules and Regulations

1) All OxIRC members are eligible for voting, and for being voted *for*

2) If an award is named after a person, it may not be won by that person, so do not vote for them. The named person represents the absolute pinnacle of achievement in the given field, and therefore may, by definition, not be topped.

3) If there is an award you would like to be introduced, then let me know and it will, if approved by our panel of judges (Well, okay, if the toss comes up heads) be added to the roster. New awards will only be accepted for a fortnightish (Okay, it's a bit vague, to keep options open)

4) Email votes to me; you may not change votes, but you may send new votes for any new awards which are introduced during the period of voting. You do not have to vote for all awards in one go, basically!

5) Awards will be presented at ox.millennium, or when (if?) I see the winner afterwards. If a winner will not be able to be present at ox.millennium, they will be notified shortly in advance and I will read out a prepared statement if they wish.

6) If you don't wish to take part for any reason, then notify me and you will be removed from the running.
