The Super Mario Wiki was created on August 12th, 2005. On August 12th, 2006, this wiki was off to a good start, but still beginning and with a small community of active users. Now we are a big community and very vibrant, and coming up on the 2nd anniversary of the wiki's creation, it's time to celebrate...the wiki. And what better way to do that than with a...
Voting!
The Mario Awards are out! It's time to vote in 30 categories for your favorites, which will make up the Awards Ceremony on August 11th.
Unfortunately, there is no fill-out-this-form-and-press-submit easy way to do this. Primarily, you will have to email me (Wayoshi) your votes. Fortunately, I have figured out a cool way to do this. But first, let me present...the award choices!! Award Names are represented by "A#", nominees "N#".

Email your votes!
Instead of wasting time typing out all of the choices, you can use these quick codes to vote. For example, if you want to vote for the Super Show for Best Other Medium and Super Mario 64 DS for Best Remake, you would put
A10. N1
A22. N3
If a nominee you want to vote for is not listed, e.g., you wanted to vote for Mario Strikers Charged for Favorite Sports Game, use this syntax:
A23. O: Mario Strikers Charged
With the O standing for Other.
In the email, you can choose to remain anonymous, and you can skip any awards you choose. If you are a guest, an email is required to vote. If you are a forum member, you can PM Wayoshi your votes. If you are just a wiki user, you must meet me in the chat room and give me your votes there. If none of these work for you, contact me to discuss another method.
Finally, if you have any questions about any awards or nominees, or the process, feel free to contact me via user talk, email, PM, or chat. Enjoy! Wa

Outline
On Saturday, August 11th, we'll have a big awards show chat-and-forum-party blast. However, it will take months of preparation, and has already started! During the process, you will be able to vote for your favorites from 30 awards.
The Committee has voted these components of the show in:
- User Awards. Our most active users would be recognized for a quality (i.e. best writer, most techincal, etc.). The no-user-awards rule implied recently would be ignored just this once – after all, this only comes once a year!
- Award Presentations. After voting, users sign up to take the results of 2-3 of the awards and create a Oscar-like script presenting the results, which could have the user himself/herself presenting, Mario characters presenting, or even other users interrupting and more (e.g. trolls try to ruin the show, a sysop conspiracy, etc.). These presentations would go in a giant forum thread, where registered users would be free to comment inbetween award presentations on the results or continue script ideas.
That all goes down on August 11th from 7-11pm EDT.
In a post-party we will run into the actual day of the wiki's creation, August 12th, at midnight. See if you can get your parents to let you stay up late this one Saturday night – you won't want to miss it.
Schedule
The following is a table by (who else than?) Wayoshi that outlines exact dates on which events related to pre-show processes will hopefully occur. Included is a small description of the event and whether the awards committee (AC), the general body of wiki users (WU), forum users (FU) and/or guests (G) can be involved (note that the awards committee must also be forum users, but this is not noted). This also assumes that both user awards and award presentations are included.
*Must be both a forum & wiki user
Awards Committee List
We have 8 members. We are accepting one more late user to make up for losses, contact me if you are interested.
