Unfortunately, you have missed out for this cycle, HOWEVER....

The next OTY contest kisks off January 1st, 2008 for the 2007 Awards. On the 1st I will be opening the contest for Club member submissions of candidates that were released in 2007. It is quite possible that the 2007 winner in any one of the four OTY categories may have already been released. Anyway, any and every member is encouraged to put into nomination up to 5 different candidates in each category.

After the submission deadline, the Assistant OTY Chairman (with some supervision from me) tallies all the candidates and lists the top ten nominees. Then we publish the Judge's Pamphlet, where copies ONLY go to those members who submitted a nomination. They are the Judges and at the present time, we are in the middle of the voting for OTY 2006.

When the deadline expires the Asssistant OTY Chairman and myself tally the votes, figure out tyhe four winners, invite the winner representatives to the Convention Banquet, announce the winners and handout the Awards.

Well, thats the short story. I look forward to your participation in January. And jus remember...

You MUST nominate in order to participate.

Thanks for asking.

Jim Follis
OTY Awards Chairman
