The LPIN 22 Awards Nomination Round Opened February 1st. 
The automated ballot casting system is operational, so it won't be necessary to email ballots.  If a registered voter is unable to cast their ballot or has questions, please PM the "LPIN Awards Committee" or "Admin" handles or email vote@lpinawards.com for assistance.

Please click this link for the Nomination Round Announcement
Note: Voters must cast ballots using their voter registration email address and not their LPIN Awards board profile email address since they may be different.

Registered Voters are urged to register as LPIN Awards board members so they may PM communicate with LPIN Awards Committee members or the "LPIN Awards Committee" handle.  Note: LPIN Awards board registration is separate from voter registration, and registration email addresses may be different too.

Thank you,

Clarification to registered voters of the ballot casting rule.  Voters will not be allowed to change their vote once a previous ballot has been received and accepted.  However, if a voter submits an invalid ballot with an incorrect email address for instance they may submit a corrected ballot with a different candidate selection.  In summary, once a voter's ballot has been received and accepted, follow up ballots will be ignored and no changes will be made.

Official Rules for LPIN 22, Award Year 2017 http://lpinawards.com/index.php?topic=92.0
V. b) Registered Voters will be allowed to submit only one nomination or one vote in each round of the contest for each of the three categories.  Each person is allowed only one ballot in each of the three contest rounds.  A voter will not be allowed to change their vote once it has been submitted and accepted.  Only the first valid ballot in a given round will be accepted by that handle with follow-up ballots being ignored.

Note: A registered voter's ballot will be considered officially received and accepted once their handle appears on the Current list of LPIN 22 Registered Voters that participated in the 2017 Awards without any notation that their ballot has been rejected.

I am completely confused by the process.  I am not on the list and I did participate last year.  Do I need to re-register?  If so, where?


thanks

You’re on the registered list. You’re not on the list for participating for 2017 which is what we are voting on now


Go to lpinawards.com you’ll see a list of all those that have voted (you not on) and a list of registered voters (you on)

It is confusing. I know some of you don't think so and that's because you know the process already.

Rachel, that's probably true and the awards committee wants every registered voter to be able to cast a Nomination Round Ballot if they desire. 

Registered voters may vote in all three rounds of the contest or whatever rounds they choose.

Only those people whose handles appear on the LPIN 22 Awards Registered Voters List may cast ballots in the contest.

Voters won't appear on the List of LPIN 22 Registered Voters that participated in the 2017 Awards until they cast their Nomination Round ballot.  Please refer to this list for all three rounds of the contest since it will be separated into Nomination, Preliminary & Final Round sections.

These are the LPIN 22 Nominees for 2017 Courtesan, Brothel & Rural Brothel of the Year to this point in time. However, the Nomination Round doesn't end until 2/28/18.

Voters who want to cast their Nomination Round ballots now, please click the following link:
LPIN 22 Awards Automated Nomination Ballot Direct Link.

Please contact the awards committee if you have any questions. 
If you're unable to cast your ballot, PM the LPIN Awards Committee handle or email vote@lpinawards.com for assistance. 
In addition, you may PM firefighter or other awards committee members on this board if it's more convenient.

Sorry for the confusion,

LPIN Awards Committee

Exactly.  Thanks to a member of the committee, I have it figured out and cast my vote.


I think a big issue is that most of us do not go on the LPIN Awards site and read through the things.

Happy Valentine's Day

Amen sister.  Everyone get in there and nominate your favorite girl.

There was confusion over the nomination procedure that needs to be clarified.
 
The LPIN Brothels that were open for business during 2017 and eligible for nomination are listed on the dropdown menus of the Nominating Form.
LPIN Awards Registered Voters may access their Nominating Form (Ballot) at the following link:

Courtesans are eligible for nomination if they worked at one of the LPIN Brothels during 2017.
(Official Rule 1. b) Courtesan of the Year (COY) - Working Girls must have been active in LPIN during a portion of the calendar year 2017 to be eligible for Courtesan of the Year nomination.  If a Lady has previously won COY, she is ineligible regardless of her working name.)

LPIN 22 Awards Nominees will be listed on the following post after they have been nominated by a registered voter who has submitted a Nominating Form:

All Nominees will proceed to the Preliminary (First) Voting Round on 3/4/18.  It only takes one nomination to qualify for the Preliminary Voting Round.

The Top 5 COY, BOY & RBOY candidates from the Preliminary Voting Round will proceed as Finalists to the Final Voting Round on 4/4/18.

The LPIN Awards Nomination Round ENDS Midnight 02/28/18 PST.

The LPIN Awards Committee had initially stated that voters would be emailed ballots; however, that wasn't necessary because Rachel Varga configured HTML Forms for our automated voting system.  Thank you Rachel Varga, since you made the LPIN Awards contest ballot casting more efficient and allowed the committee to concentrate on coordinating the LPIN 22 Awards contest!

The LPIN Awards website was recently established in August 2017 with Rachel Varga's assistance, and the LPIN Awards committee wouldn't have been able to administer a 2017 awards contest without Rachel Varga's support! 

A few registered voters may not have been aware of the LPIN Awards website existence.  Therefore, the awards committee sent emails to all registered voters on 02/19/18 who hadn't cast Nomination Round Ballots.  Subsequently, there have been an additional 11 Nomination Round ballots cast since that time.  Unfortunately, there are 4 registered voters whose emails were returned undeliverable.

Registered voters can access their Nomination Round ballot at lpinawards.com. 
The Nomination Round topic link is http://lpinawards.com/index.php?topic=166.0

The Preliminary Voting Round begins 04/05/18.  The awards committee requests that registered voters check the LPIN 22 Awards Contest Forum at that time. http://lpinawards.com/index.php?board=11.0

Thank you,
LPIN Awards Committee

THE LPIN 22 Awards Nomination Round ENDED midnight 2/28/18 PST.

There are 34 COY, 7 BOY, and 9 RBOY Nominees.
