| 2011 "Personality Plus" awards
As part of our annual celebration of glider research, rescue and education this year, the SUGAR Group is hosting a contest open to ALL glider owners. We are seeking the biggest and cutest personalities for recognition this year.
This contest will feature 12 categories. The community will vote for one winner in each category. Winners of each category will receive a calendar in which their story/photo will be featured one month.
Rules:
* You are welcome to submit ONE nomination in each category. You may only submit ONE nomination per category. Anyone who makes more than one submission in any one category will have all of their submissions in that category deleted.
* A special forum will be opened on The Sweet Spot for the submission of nominations. Nominations may be submitted today through Feb. 13, 2011.
* ALL Sugar glider owners are allowed to make submissions (including SUGAR group staff). You do not have to plan to attend the RRRoundup to make a nomination or to win a category.
* Within 3 days of the submission deadline, a committee of three people who do not own sugar gliders (identities to be revealed at the RRRoundup)will review each category and narrow the nominations down to the top 4 submissions in each category.
* Once the top 4 in each category are chosen, then voting will begin on the SUGAR Group's website. Voting will occur on this website to keep the voting secret until the Friday night dinner at the RRRoundup.
* In order to ensure that votes are counted accurately, the votes will be tallied by Karen Milas, Shawna Grupe, Jamie Trujillo and Brandon Trujillo on Friday, March 11, 2011 just hours before dinner.
* Winners of the categories will be announced at dinner on Friday night, March 11, 2011. All paid registrants for the RRRoundup (including those who are participating online) will have access to view the dinner and winner announcements.
* Winning photos and stories will be posted in our scrolling ads and trivia during breaks and meal time on Saturday.
* All entries are given with permission to the SUGAR Group to utilize the stories and/or photos at the RRRoundup, in the calendar and on our website.
* Community votes are final. In the event of a tie, we will ask for votes from Debbie Betts, Brandon Trujillo and one hotel staff member.
** This is meant to be a FUN event and in no way an actual gauge of popularity or personality. Only enter if you do so in a spirit of fun.
*******
So get your cameras and story-telling skills ready - we are now on the look out for submissions in the following categories:
1) Cutest Couple 2) Most likely to win a race 3) Best before and after photos 4) Cutest family 5) Best holiday photo (any holiday) 6) Best photo of glider(s) at play 7) Most social glider 8) Best smile 9) Biggest flirt 10) Most photogenic 11) biggest wheel hog 12) Biggest clown
In the forum on The Sweet Spot you will find additional details about what we are looking for in each of these categories.
Bring on your nominations! You only have until Feb. 13 to get them to us!!!! | |

| Took me ages to find pics for the entries! Lol! Was so much fun to do, though. As far as I know, I don't have any holiday-themed photos besides cages, though. :( I'll have to change that soon. Everyone's entries are so wonderful! Having such a good time with this one! | |

While this is my favorite picture of all time - FAVORITE - it is not Jackie Chan. That is my Cruiser. I'm still looking. I made it through August of '09 last night and found a few more pictures to consider for entering. So, I'm sure I'll find what I'm looking for. I'm having a terrible time deciding on an "at play" picture. I have so many good ones! | |

| I have now closed nominations. Boy, this is going to be hard!
Within the next few days (by next weekend) our panel of non-glider peeps will narrow down each category to the top 4 submissions and then we will open voting!

| All but 3 of the categories have been narrowed down to 4 by our panel of non-glider owners. They are having trouble agreeing on 3 of the categories cause the submissions are so good!
Now I just have to figure out how to make the voting happen. LOL.
This has been a great contest! Every submission is a winner in my book. | |
