HOBBY AWARDS BALLOT
Jim Burgess, Chair of the Hobby Awards
Committee: The Hobby Awards have a long and proud tradition in the Diplomacy
Hobby and I am continuing an effort to expand the scope and reach of the
awards. This year we again have eight nominees in each category. Please
publicize this ballot, reproduce and send it to your Diplomatic mailing lists.
Please consider the whole ballot carefully, use the web pages for research, and
vote in one, two, three or all four award categories.
The 2003 Hobby Awards generally
