2003 SQUIDDY AWARDS--FINAL PSEUDO-NOMINEE LIST
VOTING RUNS THROUGH SUNDAY, MAY 9TH
This is the final pseudo-nominee list for the 2003 Squiddy Awards. The
pseudo-nominee list is a list of all the creators, books, merchandise,
etc.
which have so far received AT LEAST ONE VOTE in the Squiddy awards
balloting.
THIS IS NOT THE BALLOT!
You are NOT limited to voting only for entries on this list; you may vote
for ANY eligible comic/story/creator/etc.
The purpose of the pseudo-nominee list is three-fold:
to provide an informal list of "nominations" for voters
who would like their memory jogged (although voters are
encouraged to consider others not already listed as well;
the names on the "pseudo-nominee" lists are in no way the
only ones you can vote for),
2) to point out votes we've determined to be ineligible, and
to ask for your help in determining whether other votes
are eligible or not.
Some votes that have been marked as "Ineligible" or "Questionable" will
possibly have their status changed after discussion on
rec.arts.comics.misc. If you are concerned about any such vote, please
follow this thread on RAC.misc.
Ballots must be mailed by the end of the day on Sunday, May 9nd 2004 (note
the voting period extension). Copies of the ballot have been posted to all
appropriate RAC* newsgroups. You can also get a copy via Google Groups at:

If you need a ballot and can not find one elsewhere, email us at
