Nominations are now open for 2021’s Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, Character of the year….. and Second Officer of the year which celebrates the hard work of individuals not just on your own sims but fleet-wide.
Why has the second officer of the year award been added? Because we are always wanted to change and progress with what the fleet wants in regards to awards. Every now and then someone mentions how awesome their second officer is so why should they not get as much praise as the other members of the command team.
You can vote here for all awards.
You have from now until 12th December to nominate.
To give your nominee the best chance we’ve put together some quick tips on how to write your awards nomination in order to give your nominee the best chance:
- Don’t be ‘boring’ – we would prefer to read about the specific differences a Commanding Officer, Executive Officer or a Character has made to the ship, fleet or plot rather than generic phrases such as ‘they’re a really nice person’ ‘behind every great Co there is a greater XO’ or ‘they’ve made a difference’. How have they made a difference? How have they excelled the plot? How are they unique?
- Maximum of 150 words. The word limit is there to ensure every one of these receives consideration.
- Use plain English when writing your nomination.
- While there is no restriction on the number of nominations, please don’t just copy-and-paste nominations. Duplicates will be removed. If two or more people have done something similar, rather than submitting identical nominations for them you could think carefully about which specific aspects they have outshined in.
- And finally, make sure you proofread the final version of the nomination as they will be shown to the wider fleet to allow people to vote.
Good luck to everyone
