Hey guys,

As promised, here are some important dates for the 2009 MEFAs.

*******************************
* MAY 22: Nominations will begin at 12:01 AM on May 22.
*
* JUNE 30: Nominations will not be accepted after 11:59 PM on June 30.
*
* JULY 7: Authors must complete the nomination forms and email their liaison by 11:59 PM on this date, in order to compete.
*
* [[ After July 7, you can review any story on our website, confident that the piece will be competing. ]]
*
* JULY 31: Categorization is finalized. (Check ballots will be posted beginning July 24.)
*
* AUGUST 31: Reviewers should set their reviewing goal by 11:59 PM on this date.
*
* [[ After August 31, reviews with the "final" status will begin displaying on the website. You will not be able to edit your final reviews after this point. ]]
*
* DECEMBER 31: Voting ends at 11:59 PM on this date.
*
* [[ Remember, all dates end based on GMT. Find the current "official" time by going to http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2008/ and looking for the "Page served at: " line in the bottom-left corner. ]]
*
*******************************

One thing you may notice is that the nomination period is five weeks unlike the full six weeks it was in previous years. We did this to allow for some extra time to test the website, so we can make sure all the t's are crossed and the i's dotted before we started accepting nominations.

In light of this, you may want to start thinking about what you want to nominate *now*. You can even go ahead and contact the author and make sure they'd like to be nominated, so they can be expecting the email. You can find previously nominated stories at http://www.mefawards.net/mefa-archive/

We've also *extended* the voting period after categories are announced by two weeks.

authors.
