Hello,

Just letting everyone know that new Nominee banners have been uploaded.
These are Silmarillion banners made by Elena. (Thanks Elena, they're
lovely!). She also has done some Reviewer banners which will be uploaded
soon. Baranduin has also made new Winners banners and these will be uploaded
later next week. Sorry for the delay but end-of-term grading has taken up
much of my time. However, that's done with and so...

When Baranduin's winners banners are uploaded we will have nearly 400
banners! Compare this with the 65 we had last year. I think we have enough
banners for all three categories so I will be asking our artists not to send
anymore unless they've been working on some in the interim. These we'll
upload but as for now... no more banners.

If people cannot find what they're looking for they're not trying hard
enough and they are free to make their own banners to suit themselves. We
have done the best we can to provide as many different types of banners as
well as subject matter, covering both Silmariliion and LOTR stories, as
possible to suit all tastes and preferences. I want to take this time again
to thank Baranduin, Cactuskim, Elea, Elena, Marta, Nautika and Viv for a
bang-up job on the banners. You all went above and beyond the call of duty.
I also want to thank Beruthiel's Cat for also helping me out when I needed
it. WIthout her assistance none of these banners would be up.

Thanks so much to everyone for all the gorgeous work on the banners (I know
I am the one always whining for the Silm banners, please forgive me!).

Hi Arthur and everyone,

I was just about to send some more... I will have made about 2 dozen Silm
banners in all, so no Silm author should feel slighted... LOLOL!

And all of the banners I'm making have Nominee, Commended Reviewer, and
Review Junkie versions, so you can select whatever you need.

Thanks for being the banner organizer, Arthur!

Well, Iike I said, if you've been making banners and are ready to send them,
go ahead. My intention is to have all the banners done and uploaded before I
leave China on the 28th of July. So whatever anyone has been working on they
should send to me ASAP. I just meant that we really don't need to keep
making banners forever. So let's say that I will not accept any new banners
to be uploaded after 18 July. That will give me a week to organize them and
send them to Beruthiel's Cat before I leave.

Thanks.

Wow! Add those to the 40 or so Silm ones I did, and the ones that
Cactuskim did, and we should have well over 50 Silmarillion banners!

I feel a little sad now that I've sent in my last batch. But, I am
very proud to have been counted among such wonderful artists.

Bring on next year! ;)
