2022 VTHH AWARDS: Nominations Round Closes TONIGHT

First off, huge thanks to everyone submitting nomination round votes so far. Not only is your participation the absolute foundation of this whole circus, it's been genuinely inspirational on my end to see everyone's picks. The mutual respect in this scene is very deep and very real, and it cuts clear across generations, too. Just a beautiful thing.

Second, there's less than 12 hours left to get those nominations in. Much respect to everyone who took this seriously and spent the week going over these 13 categories and give them some deep thought.

At midnight tonight, I'm going to sit down with pen and paper and go through the ol' Google Form I've been using to record everyone's nominations as they came in. The final ballot will be decided by a simple tally: the top five nominees in each category will be eligible to win.

Understandably, with a lot of new participants this year, there has been a lot of confusion and questions. I hope I've been nothing but helpful.

Tonight, I bet I'm going to be just as surprised as the rest of you. Most voters have been submitting multiple nominations in almost every category. I don't have a clear sense of the spread yet, but I think the final ballot will be proof that not only has our scene grown, it's changed, too. A number of these categories will look completely different than they did last year.

See you all tomorrow morning.
