How exactly are you going to handle the tie-breaks in many categories?
I agree. The awards needs more advertisement. Honestly, I didn't even know that there were such last year. Im one of those guys who are only fixed with a certain part of the forum, for me its shounen and mostly one piece.I think it would be great if you guys would make another announcement on the front page about the voting with links to all the threads of each category. We should get a lot more voters and it will hopefully make for a close matchup now that the nominations are down to 5 in most of the categories.
I'm gonna choose the ones I like.How exactly are you going to handle the tie-breaks in many categories?
Hum the mod cannot do everything, it is also to us to be a bit curious how mangahelpers community works. I was like you at first only in the one piece forum. Then when I want to discover new manga to read, I started to look at other threads and I made great discoveries. Mangahelpers mods do a really great job on that concern with the recommendation threads and the different MH events. There are plenty of ways to know what happens : the top banner, the home page, facebook, twitter... so I think it is the members job to be a little active and have a look at these links themselves and not simply waiting for being PMed.I agree.

PM, front page advertisement, and perhaps a thread/post in every nominated section/thread. Just some rnd ideas.

Adding to what M3J and k-dom had said, we did post info about this manga/anime awards at the front page as a news, making a forum-wide announcement which you can see in every forum you visit, perhaps posting in hangout threads at several sections, and in addition putting links to our signatures. Personally I think those are all enough as notifications for all members that we have something going on. ^^ All returns to members themselves, whether you would like to participate in this kind of activity or not. ;DI agree.

The voting ends on January 28th, they will be out at that day or the day after if everything goes right.when will results be out?
Why didn't you help the others series during the nomination then ? For most of the categories there was only 1 or 2 votes difference.Practically all categories should be renamed to "the best [insert a category] out of the most popular titles". One Piece for a reason unknown to me is the most popular manga here so it's in almost every category, even in the best artwork (or spread page where it's been nominated 2 times) *facepalm*.
I tend to disagree, there's a fair share of rather unknown series too and quite a lot managed to advance to the final round. Of course you can not prevent the fact that popular series will most likely come far or win a specific award, that's a given and banning like f.ex. the big three would make quite a few people angry/disappointed (and would be unfair too).Practically all categories should be renamed to "the best [insert a category] out of the most popular titles".

now your first sentence is kinda contradicting am I right that you want the poll to only have one event/character of a series (and not two or three)? Seems not so good to me, we will respect the people's opinion and if they decide that there's more than one event/character in one series who's worth voting for I don't see the reason to forbid the series to advance.Yeah there really should be a rule that you can nominate different events from one manga series but the poll can't have more than one nomination per manga.
Like Female lead where Lucy and Erza are on the poll even though both are from Fairy Tail.
But what happens is that the 5 slots are taken up by 2 or more events from one series. Lets take OP as an example for theoretical 2012 best death award.now your first sentence is kinda contradicting am I right that you want the poll to only have one event/character of a series (and not two or three)?
