Maybe we should start deciding what catagories we want? That way, while others are deciding if they want to volunteer for the 2008 Beta Awards, we can also work on ironing out the catagories for artwork submissions.
Of course, if everyone was completely satisfied with 2007's catagories, problem solved!
If we go by last year's time frame, I guess that means that we'll conclude the process by the first/second week of December. The last week of November is Thanksgiving week for many Beta members, so that might be a big conflict of interest.
