The 2006 Cy Awards!

Courtesy of The Cy Team


Cy Awards It has been almost two years since the last Cy Awards ceremony. We are pleased to announce this year marks the renewal of the event. June 24, 2006 at 8:00 VRT.

The event's theme this year is "Transition to the Future". The goals were to provide a new nomination and voting system that will last for years to come, to make it more user friendly, and provide a world of class and dignity. Lady Teal has done a fine job recruiting citizens to accomplish these deeds.

This event is by the citizens and for the citizens of Active Worlds. It is a wonderful gathering place for all to celebrate the past year's accomplishments. Please remember that every build is a celebration and a footprint left for others to follow. These awards are for those voted to inspire others and to further the future of our universe.

About Nominations

Our new nomination system is self explanatory when you login to the system. Citizens will be asked to enter CyAwards World and get a password from a bot. It will log your citizen number and name. This password and your citizen name are used to log into the website when you will choose what category to nominate.

You do not have to fill out all of the nominations at once. The system logs your work and you can come back and forth until the nominations are closed. Those who log in and have been nominated will have the opportunity to add their own comments to that nomination before it is reviewed for the voting sequence.

About Voting

Voting will require you to login using you id and password (If you forget the password, go to the bot once more and get a new one). This area will be open during the dates that voting is open. This year you will have seven days to do so. Remember to provide all the information you can such as builder or owner name, coordinates if necessary to the area and name of world. This allows us to setup teleports and information for others to review the nomination.

• May 26 Nominations start
• June 3 Nominations stop
• June 10 Voting starts
• June 17 Voting stops
• June 24 Cy Awards Event

A pre-ceremony party will be announced for citizens to come into world and preload the cache. This will make it faster and easier for those attending the ceremony.

This occasion helps mark a change in 2006 where citizens will have more community event choices than ever before. It is truly great to see this happening in Active Worlds and the Cy Awards are proud to be part of it.

We hope you’ll participate and enjoy this celebration of a year!
