As Russ is working with the judges, I shall begin on staffing this year's show. Last year we had 4 individuals helping with the ENnies, and I'd like to expand this staff to reduce the workload on me and to make the ceremony that much cooler for all present. If you are interested in any of the following positions, please post which one(s) and what your qualifications are. Advertise yourself and your qualifications. Note: these are volunteer positions.  There's no pay involved! None of these gigs are easy. Indeed some of them involve manual construction, drawing, all sorts of talents. Many involve work which needs to be started as early as possible and will carry through to the show and even go afterward, so be prepared for this. Some positions require your attendance at Gencon, while others this will be optional. The more labor intensive positions will, like judges, be rewarded with a free trip to GC and Hotel room (Exactly which ones are up to Peter Adkison to decide). Here are the rules for staff:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">As with judges, these positions are closed to publishers and would-be nominees as the staff are privy to private information (as in, having advance knowledge of who won what award in many cases).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Most staff report to me (Michael Morris) and then to Russ. I'm not a dictator or anything, but Russ will be busy with the voting side. If you're unsure of who you report to keep this rule of thumb in mind - if it has anything to do with the ceremony itself it's in my purview, and if it's a voting, judging issue, it's in Russ' If in doubt ask me and I'll confer with Russ. Part of my role is to keep the ENnies workload from overwhelming Russ, and I'm looking for folks who will in turn keep me from being overwhelmed <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Again, some positions require attendance at Gencon, and for others it's optional. If you can't make it to Gen Con make sure you apply for a position where your attendance isn't required.</li> </ol>All questions and commentary are welcome And the open positions are as follows...   [h1]Flash Programming Lead[/h1]Gencon Attendance Required? No. Duties:This person will lead the development of the flash animation that is used in the preshow and during the ceremony. They will be free to pick as many (or as few) assistants as they require to get this job done. Qualifications: To apply for this position post a link to one to three flash animations you have done in the past 12 months of at least 1 minute's duration which employ sound and animation. Deadlines: The main control program must be finished June 30th. Nominee slides must be ready July 30th.   [h1]Biz Manager[/h1]Gencon Attendance Required? Yes Duties: This person handles the promotion and advertisement of the ENnies event, particularly outside the show. This includes working with catalogue publishers. At the very least this person will present award stickers to publishers after the show for use on the products. Qualifications: A background in marketing and advertising is needed to do this job well. We're looking for someone willing to work to expand the influence of the ENnies by getting the word out about them. This also involves contacting publishers and making sure that they are aware of deadlines and what they need to do to enter. Deadlines: None as yet. Of the positions be warned that this one is a continuing year-round one. [h1]House & Reception Manager[/h1]Gencon Attendance? Yes, or else. Duties: The after ENnies reception and cooridinating seating arrangements with participants. This individual will choose ushers as necessary. Qualifications: Know how to organize a damn good party.</blockquote>
