Nomination Guidelines

1. Nominations may be for fiction, art, music videos, or other transformative works.
2. Only works based on Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe, and any movie prequels and/or follow-ups are eligible.  Any crossovers must primarily focus on characters from one or more of the Stargate series. Real Person-based works are ineligible.
3. Works which have previously won a GateFic Award are ineligible for future awards. Works which have won other fandom awards (Stargate Fan Awards, Blue Moon Awards, Isis Awards, etc.) are eligible provided they pass other eligibility requirements.
4. We will not accept nominations for works-in-progress.  We will, however, accept nominations for completed stories that exist within an incomplete or on-going series.
5. We will not accept nominations for works which contain child pornography.
6. Professional authors, artists, and videographers are eligible for nominations, but professional publications are not.  Please do not nominate official tie-in novels, audio dramas, or short stories published in the official magazine.  Likewise, any art or videos published in a professional capacity are also ineligible.
7. Self-nominations are prohibited, as most participants believe they diminish the honor of the nomination for all other works.  Any nominations believed to be self-submitted will be discarded, which includes nominations made by a spouse, partner or other person who is not a regular participant in fandom. Campaigning for nominations or votes is in poor taste, and may result in a temporary or permanent ban from the awards.
8. Nominated works must be in English, or a translation must be provided.  We would love to be able to offer a truly international experience for our voters, but we feel a common language is necessary in order to provide all nominated works with a "fair chance".
9. Nominators are encouraged to provide as many details about the submission as possible, in order to facilitate categorization of the work by our team.

Non-participants

For personal reasons, some people do not want their works to be nominated.  We respect their wishes, and ask that you not nominate works by any of the following:

• Biblio
• chkc
• Crysothemis
• lamardeuse
• Lyn
• Troyswann/Salieri
• Siria/Siriaeve

Voting Guidelines

1. Ballot-stuffing is prohibited, and may result in a temporary or permanent ban from the awards. This includes votes which are placed by a spouse, partner or other person who is not a regular participant in fandom.
2. Ballots which are submitted through proxy servers will be discarded. No part of GateFic has country restrictions, so be sure to log off of any proxy servers you regularly use to submit a ballot.
3. Please consider ALL your options before placing your vote.  Although you may change your vote at any time by submitting a new ballot with the desired alterations, it is to your advantage to review all works prior to voting.
