As part of our annual celebration of glider research, rescue and education this year,
the SUGAR Group is again 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 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 January 18, 2013.


* 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 2-3 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 three individuals at the RRRoundup. The three individuals will include at least one SUGAR Group staff member and at least one person who is not on staff with the SUGAR Group. Votes will be tallied on Thursday, Feb. 28, 2013.

* Winners of the categories will be announced at dinner on Friday night, March 1, 2013. 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, on our facebook page and on our website.

* Winning photos from previous years are not eligible for submission.

* 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 aspirit 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) Mommy (or Daddy) and me
2) Cutest Couple
3) Best Holiday photo (any holiday)
4) Most photogenic
5) Best Forager
6) Best Smile
7) Kissing Cuties (photos of kisses in action)
8) Sleeping Beauties
9) Nature Lover (best photo in nature)
10) Three's a Crowd (trio photos)
11) Best Photo of Glider(s) at Play
12) Messiest Eater(s)


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 Jan. 18 to get them to us!!!!

There's probably no sense in you looking for photos, Val - just admit that I'm going to win and make it easy on yourself. 2013 Personality Plus Awards! 971666

Only two weeks remain to get your photos submitted. I am so impressed with the entries so far. What a hard choice it will be to choose a winner in each category!

I see lots of cute pictures. Don't know how the judges are going to pick. It's going to be so hard.

Thank you all so much for your entries. This year is going to be so hard on all those who vote!

Submission forums have been locked and sometime in the next 2 weeks I will be getting together with the panel of people who do not own gliders for them to narrow each category down to 4 finalists. Then voting can begin! Whooo hoooo!

Ryan, the finalists are not listed yet. Therefore, the page for them is not active on the website yet. As stated above, it might be 2 weeks before we have finalists decided.

The sugar group website is always found at sugargroup.org 2013 Personality Plus Awards! 890490

Even our judges are having a really hard time this year! I have finalists for 3 categories in my hands...... 9 more to go! Wonder how long it will take them to narrow those 9 categories down to only 4 photos. 2013 Personality Plus Awards! 652520
