Alright, ladies and gents, this is your FINAL REMINDER that voting ballots are due by 11:59PM EST on February 6th! No ballots will be accepted after this time.

Just a reminder that voting ends in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!! Everyone who is still reading through the fics has until 11:59PM EST, February 6th, 2009 to submit their voting ballots! :) So far I have about 16 ballots, which is great for starters, but I'm hoping for a lot more votes over the next two weeks.

Please be sure to read through this post once voting ( Read more... )

The Nomination Period for the 2008 Criminal Minds Fan Fic Awards has now ended. Thank you to everyone who submitted ballots (we had a terrific turnout - 39 ballots in total!!), and to all of the authors who graciously granted us approval to use their fics in this competition!
