The Eagle Awards 2008

[Cher2a]

I didn't know whether this was against the rule or not - if it is, please forgive me and just delete this, Showmasters, but I saw that there is no Comics section anymore (sadly), and thought that General Chat was the best place for it.

 

Orang Utan Comics ( http://www.orangutancomics.co.uk ) - famous for publishing the critically acclaimed comic book anthology title Eleventh Hour - have now been nominated to be nominated (I know, it sounds complicated). This means that we need as people as humanly possible to vote for us because the top three nominees in each category voted for by the public will then be in the Finals, the winner of which is chosen by the industry professionals.

We would truly appreciate it if you could visit the Voting page - http://www.eagleawards.co.uk/nominate.asp - and put in your vote for Eleventh Hour in 'Favourite Comic Book: British' and for Orang Utan Comics in 'Favourite Publisher'.

Feel free to email me (Cher2a@gmail.com) to get the URL for a free digital copy of Eleventh Hour #1 and #2.

Please also forward this to as many members of your family and friends as possible, so that we can get those vital votes in!

With any luck, we will get enough votes to be Nominated!

Thank you very much.

 

Ian Sharman and myself (Cherie Donovan) shall be signing copies of Eleventh Hour at CollectorMania G-Mex.

 

Ps. Also, on a more personal note, I would very much appreciate it if you could vote for James Redington in the 'Roll Of Honour'. He was a very good friend of mine who sadly passed away last year, but he made a great impact on the British comic book community, was a very talented writer, and a good friend to many. He deserves it.

UPDATE:

Apparently the organisers of the Eagle Awards messed up! A lot of the votes were lost...

So, please, please, please, please vote again, guys!

If it comes up with a message after voting saying that you already have, then your vote was counted, so that's fine, but if it says "thank you for voting", then it didn't register the first time.

Remember, if you aren't a big fan of comics and don't know who to vote for (other than what I mentioned above), you can leave any category blank.

Thanks everyone!
