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!
