Thank you all for your concerns. The ENnie Awards were very disappointed to learn of Zachary Houghton's resignation through his blog post, especially over what seems to be a misunderstanding within a private discussion. We wish to express our regret that Mr. Houghton felt it necessary to withdraw from his post as judge, as he was a valued member of the ENnies panel in the 2008 season.
I would like to encourage anyone with concerns to please address them to our ENnies Public Relations Coordinator. Until such a time as a permanant PR Coordinator can be hired, I will be functioning in that capacity, in addition to my duties as a 2009 Judge. Any concerns can be addressed to gertiebarden (at) gmail (dot) com until such a time as an official ENnies account can be created. Any individuals wishing to volunteer as a member of the ENnies staff, whether as PR Coordinator or any of our other vacant positions, please contact Business Manager Denise Robinson through the ENnies website (
The ENnie Awards- About the ENnies).
Please understand that although current and former ENnies staff members and judges may be participating in the online discourse, only official statements made by the Business Manager, Public Relations Coordinater or Owner are considered representative of the awards. As these staff members are also active members of the community, please understand that only those postings marked as official ENnies responses should be considered as such.
I will check this thread as often as I can, but for those with immediate concerns, the email address above is the most reliable method of contact.
Thank you,
Gertie Barden
ENnies Public Relations Coordinator
