In a departure from previous OTY Awards procedures I am hereby announcing the 2006 Nominees for Token of the Year. These are the top finishers from the nomination phase of the OTY Awards process and I am now putting out a "Call for Loaners"!

If you have any of these tokens and you wish to loan them to the OTY Chairman (until the conclusion of the Convention) please email me as soon as possible.

I am looking to have one example of each Nominee so that they can be used to make high-quality scans and also be put on display at the Convention. Scans will be used to create the Official 2006 OTY Judge's Pamphlets and also for a CCTN article.

All loaners will be returned to the owners at the end of the Convention, along with a Certificate of Appreciation. I will accept offers in the order that they come in.

Thank you and here are the Nominees!

Circus Circus $1 2006 Women's USBC, Reno, NV
