Barney awards.

Have you had a look at who and what has been nominated so far? virtualtourist.com/meetings/... And there are still 8 weeks to go where people can nominate, so this should be interesting.

    Thanks Claus for the update. I send in some already, but not all were valid. Take care you nominate recent (not older than 1 year) pages/pictures etc. How about my new Flag Bearer picture at my home page? PJ

    PJ, they allowed contributions from the past year and 3/4 (January 2011 through September 2012). That extra wiggle room is nice 'cause it gives some of our terrific new rookies from 2011 a well-deserved chance.

    OK, I must have nominated even older entries. Time to read the small print of the nomination rules :) PJ

    To be honest I got that question last week at Tals's wedding: Are you the manager of VT?!!! Should I stop promoting VT or what, haha. PJ

    I entered 2 more nominations, but I am still looking for funny stuff. Well, there is a party going Down South; let's wait a week :) PJ

    Well, Thanks to Claus for pointing the Barney Awards nominations page, otherwise, I'd not be aware of its existence - guessing many other VTers (some of who have been nominated) are equally unaware. I'd have expected TBA's to have pride of place, or at least a corner on VT Home Page, or am I missing something? I remember last Barney awards 'chatting' to nominees who didn't have a clue what The Barney Awards were about! Well Thanks to Claus, posting this link, I'm gobsmacked to find my name there amongst nominees (again) Better get nominating - some VTers spring to mind easily, other categories I will have to think about!
