I was trolling through the Photos section and found six more banners, all by
Anna/Andreth! She just made the Ainulindale a very Viable category. The
Valaquenta is Viable now, too.

They look great! I hadn't even thought o fusing images from space for the
Ainulindale, but it's a very good idea. See, all, you don't have to have an
image from Peter Jackson to put together a good-looking banner.

Wait, does that mean that if you don't get any award banner for the
Elves catagory you are not going a have it as a catagory? -Tinni

Nah! We have until November, plenty of time to come up with something (go
hit up your artist friends everyone!).

Besides, there is a poll right now asking about changing the Award titles
for the Elves section. Go check it out and register your vote. It's not
going to be open for long.

Umm... Ainaechoriel I have a problem with the poll. I want to the
titles changed but not to the suggested one. In my humble opinion it
would make more sense to have awards for each kindred of elves. I.e.
Vanya Award, Noldor Award and Teleri Award. That way you can use
images from the movie or use your own creativity. I mean it includes
elves from all ages and I just think the broad scope will get more
creative jucies flowing. Just a thought. -Tinni

Well, we thought about that when we were coming up with them. They're a
little plain and they don't take into account all the Elves. What about the
Sindarin, the Silvan, the Nandor, the Avari, etc.

By going with Imladris, Eryn Lasgalen, and Lothlorien, you have the three
places where the Elves are at the end of the Third Age--and there are only
three places, at least in Middle-Earth. At just about any other time, you
have a lot more places and the same problem as the various kinds of Elves
mentioned above. By going with just the three places in LOTR, it's kind of
like going with the battles of LOTR for Adventure, or the three places one
might find Orcs in LOTR for the Orcs.

Personally, I did kind of like the 3 kingdoms idea (the present titles), but
I don't think I could come up with anything for a banner for any of the
three even though I like Elu Thingol.

Besides, if I changed the poll now, all the present votes would disappear.

We might go with different titles next year. Hold that suggestion and
refine it to just three logical choices.

Thanks much. I'm glad you like them. I can't take full credit though -
it was hubby's idea to use some of the Hubble photos one of his
astronomy buddies sent to him. I couldn't choose which one I liked
best, so I just used them all.

I've been slowly adding more banners. Been working on some for the
last few weeks, but have been too lazy to finish them and upload
them. With the way I procrastinate, I'm glad we have until
November. :-D

The Sindar, the silvan and the nandor were all Teleri and the Avari
were what remained of the original three tribes of elves. I don't see
why that would be a problem. *shrug* I'll live whatever you decided
but I just think for a broad catagory title like elves the sub-
catagory are far too limiting. I mean if you want three kingdoms why
not go for Beleriand, Lindon and Imladris, one kingdom from each age.
Why stick to one age? -Tinni

Remember that the titles don't have anything to do with subcategories. The
Imladris/Ingwe of Valinor Award goes to the top Elves story, regardless of
whether it has to do with Rivendell or Valinor. They aren't subcategories.
Just titles.

That works! We *want* multiple banners because we want to vote on them.
Heck, I made two for The Two Towers that only differ in size/perspective. I
could decide which was better, so I uploaded them both.

I've got a few more in mind myself. I just need to find the time. Dang.
That's what I could have been doing while I was so bored at work today. (It
was so slow, I got to go home 20 minutes early! I was so bored/tired that I
ended up taking a nap from before 6pm to just before 10pm.)
