 Topic  Feathers Nominations 
 Message  You will have all (hopefully) have noticed that there is now an awards system in place to acknowledge good writing here on ES... A panel of well-established users collaborate and share opinions on outstanding work, coming to a conclusion every friday. However, we can’t be everywhere at once and may not always see poems that deserve to b e nominated for the feather or its runner-up, the gold ribbon, so this is for anyone who thinks they know of a poem that deserves to be nominated! Just leave the link below and it’ll get checked out... also, suggestions and comments on the awards would be highly appreciated!

 Message  That’s great for Dnd, but he’s won a ribbon so I think that excludes him from future consideration. As I understand it, anyone on the Feather Pickers Committee or those who’ve previously won an award, cannot be chosen again. Is this not so?

 Message  I would like to nominate "Dear Jane/Dear Diary" by deadndreaming. It’s seriously unique and honest and real piece.... One of the best I’ve ever seen.

 Message  Not as though they will ever read this, but I wanted to thank mister fizzle and fadedsilence for nominating me, even if im not to be considered, or if i dont get it. i think the nominations mean just as much as actually getting it. thanks.

 Message  Thanks Fiz. We’re trying to come to a conclusion on this week’s feather, it should have been awarded last friday but it’s a difficult one.
So I’ll add your nomination to the selection after we’ve decided on this week’s, is that okay?
