Hello !anime@ani.social! I am happy to announce that nominations are now open for the 2025 Fediverse Anime Awards! I have included a list of the award categories below, so take some time and think about shows/movies that you think are worthy of your vote. To submit a nomination, send a private message to @kurisu@ani.social that says !nominate and she will send you a template for you to fill out (she checks every 5 minutes). Feel free to nominate as many items (or as few) as you want in each category. Also, in this nomination phase, if you submit an additional nomination ballot, then the new nominations will just be added to your previous ones. So, feel free to resubmit the form again to include those shows that you forgot about!

I have tried to pre-emptively answer some questions in the comments below. Let me know if you have any other questions/feedback!
This looks like a lot of work. Thank you for all the effort you have (+ are going to) put into this.
Thanks! I learned some lessons from last year. I am going to be doing the nominations/voting just through the private messages this year as trying to set up a web service just for this was a ton more work and I kept kind of spinning my wheels and ending up in dead ends. Doing things through pm’s also vastly simplifies vote manipulation since it is trivial to tie a vote to a specific account.
Fun fact, it took me about 4 hours to write all the code to do the nomination portion of this process (borrowing some established code from rikka). I haven’t yet written the analysis or voting portions though, so that will be over the next week.
