Welcome, members of the Academy!

For those newcomers who have registered during the past year, we invite you to read this history of the pageant and its hallowed traditions.

The categories in which Wikipedia admins and peons will compete are the following:

WP:DICK of Distinction, for the most appallingly corrupt performance as an Admin

The Tag-Team event

Miss Incongeniality, for the most colorful and persistent violations of WP:CIVIL

The Straight Shooter award, for honest admins

Cojones de latón, for non-admins who have displayed wit and valor in combat with the Cabal

The winner of the grand sweepstakes WP:DICK of Distinction honors will take home this magnificent memento, which we like to call "The Jimbo®":

Now, please bear with us as we explain the unnecessarily complex voting procedures:

For the WP:DICK contestants, each member of the academy may cast votes for both DICK and Runner-Up (a condition which is said to respond well to traditional antibiotics.) The DICK vote counts as 2 points, while the Runner-Up counts as one. Thus, each voter has 3 points total to distribute among the contestants. Academy members may award all three points to one contestant by voting for him or her in both categories, or split the points between two contestants. Points will be tallied from the two categories, and the contestant with the most points wins, with the 2nd Place going to the contestant with the next highest point total. Got it? The same formula used to apply to the Straight Shooter and Cojones de latón categories, but this year the Program and Catering Committee was demanding overtime pay, so we scrapped that and all categories other than DICK will be simply one vote per category.

Ready... set... VOTE!

Electioneering within 100 feet of the polling place is encouraged, so feel free to post a paean to your candidate of choice, extolling his or her exquisite qualifications and achievements

Are the pollsters aware that it appears you can vote for the same person in the Dick and Lesser Spotted Dick sections? I think that is wonderful!

Yes, see blurbs above.

I would like to announce my decision to vote for Alison for Straight Shooter. I haven't seen many acts of real courage by any admin, and when it comes to our candidates that serve on the ArbCom, I have watched them sit impotently in the foxholes time after time as opportunities to do something really useful came and went. But I give Alison credit for one thing: she was the one who cancelled Chip Berlet's blank check. She may not even remember the occasion, but Chip's fragile ego couldn't take it, and not long thereafter he bailed, to the everlasting benefit of the project.
