For Feature of the Year, I had eleven who met the requirements as a full feature of the 12 I posted to my websites in 2009. These 11 were part of a nominations process that was open to the public. The top five vote getters are the nominees and the eventual winner is being selected by a judges panel of 16 artists, industry peers, professionals, a couple of select visitors to my sites and a past Feature of the Year winner. Past winners in this category are: Diva Kingsley (2006); Anya Allen (2007) and Decorations and Designs by Paul Miller (2008).
For Best Picture, this is a new category and it is for any one single photo I took and posted in the eligibility year. Again, 26 photos were in the running during the nominations process that was open to the public. The top six vote getters are the nominees and the judges panel decides the eventual winner.
Winners receive a trophy and the honor. Any individual or company who had something to do in the creation of the individual pieces and features are included in the nomination and honor.
Below are the nominees and a history by numbers for The Cassone Channel Honors, along with a sample from the features and the pictures nominated. I have also included the video slideshow presentation for each category. NOTE: To watch the videos without the music player, scroll to bottom of the page and mute the player.
Winners will be made public Sunday, April 18, 2010.
