Rules, Categories and Regulations
Nominees are chosen based on subscriber comments, video views and ratings.
No more than five (5) webisodes will be selected for each category and in performer categories, no more than five (5) individual performers will be selected for performer categories – unless there is a tie. In that case there will be six nominees in that given category.
A voting body consisting of subscribers, channel viewers, social networking site group members and peer channel directors will select the winner(s) in each category via simple online polls.
Each category will be given it’s own separate poll, with results remaining in public view through the duration of the voting process. Polling ends September 15, 2009. Winners will be announced on October 15, 2009 at an awards ceremony at Monkey Business in Wilton Manors Florida. Showtime is 8:30pm.
Any video appearing on the Cassone2007 channel through May 31, 2009 (as this is the first Honors year) is eligible for an award.
Winners in each category receive a trophy – and the honor.
All credited webisode performers are eligible for the Best Webisode (per each given season) category (this gets more interesting from seasons two and beyond) – thus if a performer, technical person, co-director, production assistant, set designer, et al was credited for that specific webisode; all are part of that nomination (and eventual award) in that given category.
All performer categories are for individual achievement for that specific supporting player or guest star.
Supporting Player category is for individual ‘performers’ for each qualified season who have appeared in GETTING READY or any extras on the channel, in four (4) or more webisodes to be eligible for that category in that given season.
Guest Star category is for individual ‘performers’ for each qualified season who have appeared in GETTING READY in three (3) or less webisodes or any extras on the channel, to be eligible for that category in that given season.
Technical Achievement category may appear if there is something of note for a given webisode in a given season – i.e. this is for set designers, costumers, hair designers, makeup, et al – these will be given on a season by season, but may be voted upon by a distinguished panel of peers in that given field of expertise or awarded by Antonio Cassone.
Sister Channel awards are given to channels that have caught the eye of our subscribers and have a common bond with our audience, thus creating a more global feel to the experience while viewers are at Cassone’s sites and channel. Cassone will select this award, with suggestions being taken into consideration by subscribers and even the peer channel directors themselves. This category will be threefold, as an award will be given to Local, USA and Global. See categories for more information.
Pioneer Award is a special category given to an individual or channel that has promoted, shared, coached and assisted using their knowledge and tools to help the Cassone2007 channel grow, improve and meet the demands of it’s subscribers and viewership. Cassone will select the honoree, with suggestions being taken into consideration. This category is now closed for the 2009 eligibility year, as a selection has been made.
Public Service Award is given to an individual or channel that exemplifies the Cassone2007 view of creating art and/or media that provokes thought, incites positive activism that enlightens the human spirit and makes the world a brighter and better place.
This category is now closed for the 2009 eligibility year, as a selection has been made.
