    Have to have a photo category for the Awards. Hoping there is one again this year :-) . Seen there was a blurb on facebook about a vote for catigories but can not find a place to vote on the site so I am forwarding my vote this way.

    Also, Just wondering about the following. The site mentions that…

    *Renaissance Festival Awards open on September 1st. Start telling your fellow Rennies.* 

    Has this been moved up from years past ?  Seams like last year it was not until Oct. or Nov. before voting began. If this is a move up… doesn’t that leave larger Festivals like MNRF, CARF, TRF, PARF, MIRF, MARF at a big disadvantage since their Festivals don’t start until close to or well after the voting period opens ? When does the voting close ?

    Thanks for your time and keep up the great podcasts !

      Thanks for the suggestion Lonn. I think Tony was asking for categories on Facebook. So you can post comments there.

      But nope. I think I started the Awards on September 1st since the very beginning. But most folks don’t realize it’s running until later. Voting closes on December 31st.

      Admittedly, there could be some discrepancies as you say because there are many spring time faires too that may not be as active. Actually, that’d be an interesting question regarding which faires won in the past few years… hmm… We will look into it. But I don’t that we have a better option since we need as much time as possible to get the word out. And if you have any suggestions, we’re happy to hear them.
