First off, our staff welcomes you to the Final Frontier Awards!
We Are: Herr Fritz (the one with a fanfiction account), Lynn, Torgeir, and Martin
The Final Frontier Awards takes the very best work in Star Trek fanfiction from the past year. This is the first year of operation, so let's make it a great one!
We have several story categories, as well as an overall "Best Story of 2012."
The process starts with a nominating round. Every fanfiction author and reader may nominate their favorites. Categories are found in the next chapter.
When all the nominations are in, they get announced in a chapter on the Final Frontier Award's profile.
Once the nominations are announced, the voting round begins. In this round, everyone gets to play a part. All readers and writers, whether you have a fanfiction account or not, gets to vote. You have 1 vote in each category, and are able to vote for yourself.
All nominations for the 2012 contest are due May 1st. Contact us with nominations via PM or email: finalfrontierawards AT gmail DOT com.

A few things to keep in mind:
The Final Frontier Award is just for fun. Though it will make you feel good if you win, it will not grant you fame and fortune.
Participation is free; so is winning. You won't win a trip to Hawaii, but you will be immortalized on the Final Frontier Award's profile for the rest of time.
Don't hold back nominations because you're nervous! Many shyly-wrote fanfictions are hidden pieces of gold!
Even if you don't win, don't get discouraged. Keep at it—all fanfiction is a testimony to creativity!

So with nothing else to discuss, the next chapter holds the categories for the contest!
