2004 HOBBY AWARDS BALLOT

Jim Burgess, Chair of the Hobby Awards Committee: The
Hobby Awards have a long and proud tradition in the
Diplomacy Hobby. 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 FOR ONE person in each award category. I know it
is difficult but please choose just one and vote for as many
of the four awards as you want.

The 2004 Hobby Awards generally are for hobby activities
during the calendar year 2004 with a nod to 2003 with the
change in timing of the voting. Congratulate ALL of the
nominees for their service and achievements and please vote!
