the email deadline is tonight at mid-night PST!! If you have NOT voted, you have just a few hours to get your votes to me electronically!

ATTENTION All Club Members!

As a Member, in good standing, you can be influential in determing the 2010 OTY winners by casting your Ballot for the 2010 OTY Awards!

Here are some necessary links to get you set...

To review the Top TEN Nominees in each of the three OTY categories, just visit any one of these 3 links:

http://www.thechipgallery.com/gallery2010?dir=COTY
http://www.thechipgallery.com/gallery2010?dir=SSOTY
http://www.thechipgallery.com/gallery2010?dir=CKOTY

Each link holds scans of the respective 10 Nominees, each of which is identified by an alphabetical designation that corresponds to the listing order on the Official Ballot. At each link you can navigate to the other two pages by using the drop-down menu at the top-center of the page you are on. The three active selections are COTY, SSOTY and CKOTY.

Make note of your top 3 in each category and using the Official 2010 Ballot (linked here: http://www.thechipgallery.com/ebay/pics/OTYBALLOT2010.pdf ) fill-in your votes. Please keep in mind that your three votes are weighted. A 1st Place vote is 5 points, a 2nd Place vote is 3 points and 3rd Place vote is 2 points. You will then need to get your Ballot snail mailed by the deadline, or emailed by that email deadline. Both are noted on the Ballot! As an alternative, you can simply email me your votes, but you must make sure that it is very clear what you are voting for and what place each vote is for. You MUST use the alphabetic refence for each selection.

Lastly, if anyone would like to step up now and commit to acquiring and donating to the 's Permanant Collection of All Past OTY Winners any one of the yet-to-be-determined OTY winners for 2010, then please feel free to do so. An email will probably be best.
