I think the host should have an equal chance to win awards.

If the host take votes for each award, either by secret ballot or polls, all the host needs to do is report the results as they happened. There is no need for the host to be excluded from being on the ballot.

If people are paranoid, we could even have an alternate host for categories that the original host in nominated in, or if the original host needs to recuse himself or herself from a category for any reason.

Alright!

I'm so happy now. Not that I'd win anything ANYWAYS.

Well, you see, if the host, or whoever counts the votes, can recieve awards, they may announce the winner as themselves. Which is not what we want.

I highly doubt anyone at WOWAY would do that.

Well, uh, you've got a point there.

In that case, does anyone mind if I host? I mean, although I can only work on it during the weekends, it's not a 25hr job.

Well maybe we should have a host for each category. You know someone who wasnt voted for would be the host. Does that make sense. Like an award show. Oh wait this is called WOWAY awards.

As in, I collect votes etc. and others will present the awards? I don't know. I don't think there are enough people to do that. But perhaps we could have a single presenter. Even if it's allowed, I think it'd be pretty dumb awarding an award to myself. Which is where we end up where we started again.

This is really confusing.

There really aren't enough people to have a presenter for each award. Maybe I should just present the awards anyway.

Please, somebody else organise it. I can help, but I need more Ideas.

1. How do we collect the results so the host won't know the winners until the presentation occurs?
2. Who should present?

If we're having others present, I'll present something.
