+HitsMan and Chris Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Nominations for the Best of 2003 LA Geocaches awards have closed, and it's time to vote on the winners. In light of the amount of nominations received, some minor changes have been made to the rules (I know, I don't like rule changing either, but it's the first year, we're still figuring it out, and this is all for fun, so no need to get uptight about it). Some categories did not have at least two caches with multiple nominations. In those cases, I've included all nominees for the final vote. All other categories are restricted to caches with multiple nominations. Also, caches are eligible in an unlimited amount of categories. To vote, email hitsman@yahoo.com with your single pick for each category. It is not required that you vote in every category. Please don't vote for a cache you haven't visited. Voting will close January 31. After that, I'll tally the votes and post the winners. Thanks to all who nominated caches, and congratulations to all who placed caches that were nominated. Now on to the nominees...

+HitsMan and Chris Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 Voting was supposed to close last night. I didn't get to post a reminder before the deadline. In the interest of including as many caches as possible, I will still count your votes if you get them in to me by midnight tonight. So, if you haven't voted yet, send your votes to hitsman@yahoo.com now and you could be the deciding vote (yes, as of now, there are several ties). Quote Link to comment
ChiliGirl Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Hitsman and Chris, Wow!! I've been following this and hope you're not still counting the votes, as that would be amazing!!!! Are we going to be rewarded soon with the final tally? ChiliGirl Quote Link to comment
