As some of you may know, the forum held its first annual BtVSFigs Custom Awards last year (click the following links to find out more: Link 1, Link 2, Link 3). For those newer members who are unaware of the BCAs, this special event is the forum’s way of recognizing our own customizers for their hard work, creativity, and talent. This event will help the customizers of BtVSFigs shine and will give praise to the best Buffy/Angel customs of 2005! Without further ado, it’s time to start the processes for...
The Second Annual BtVSFigs Custom Awards
The way things are going to be handled this year is slightly different from how they were handled last year. I’ve taken into account some of the suggestions a few of you made about last year’s event and have tried to incorporate as many of them into this year’s event as possible. Here’s a mini-schedule of how the 2005 BCAs is going to be run (which may change if problems arise during the process):
From November 2 to November 16, you customizers who would like to participate will take some time to go through the customs you made in 2005 and decide which of them you’d like to submit into what categories. When choosing your customs, be sure to consider which customs are your favorites, as well as which ones would be favorites of the forum members.
You are only allowed to enter five (5) customs into each category. You may enter the same custom in more than one category, but just remember that variety is the spice of life!
Once you’ve decided on all of your customs, you must PM your list with links to photos to BCA2005 (be aware that these links are what I will be using when revealing your chosen customs to the forum members, so make sure you use a reliable photo hosting site). All of your submissions must be sent by 11:59pm on November 16 for them to be eligible for this event.
Here are the categories available for you to enter:
Best Buffy Summers Custom
-The best custom of the Slayer herself, Buffy Anne Summers.
Best Buffy the Vampire Slayer Main Character Custom
-The best custom of any character placed in the beginning credits of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (excluding Buffy herself).
Best Buffy the Vampire Slayer Minor Character Custom
-The best custom of any character never placed in the beginning credits of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

-The best custom of any little/big bad from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

All right…those are the categories. There are three non-custom categories that aren't listed above - Best Customizer, Best New Customizer, and Most Improved Customizer - that will be addressed at a later time.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or PM me. I’d be glad to help you!
