I think that solves the issue of small collabs, there's no need to a special category for them when they can already compete in all the regular categories. Although I'd suggest bumping it up to 3 people being treated as normal instead of 2 but going all the way up to six people seems like it's taking it to far. I can think of several projects with six or less editors that were clearly 'meps' instead of regular videos.
What Jay and you say pretty much sums up how I feel. Videos made by two or three editors have already been rewarded in the past in 'normal categories' (Mike/Meri and Nate/Jeff come to mind) so I don't think they need any real distinction. If they're good, they'll win. Why are people concerned otherwise?

I'm not "concerned." I just feel they're different. If the viewer can't tell, fine, for the VCAs, but this is why we need some sort of ECAs. Only individuals who have at least one video cataloged in the database will be eligible. Then a category for best one track collaboration makes sense.

Funny, TJ. Real funny.

How many of the org's regular contributors, let alone eligible editors, participate in AWA Pro? Sure, your response was amusing, but it isn't really an adequate answer.

I'm pretty sure there's no deadline on the Voter Agreement. You just don't get to see the voting pages until it's checked.

Also, we're extending the qualification deadline through Friday.
