Greetings! It's time to nominate for the 2021 Xixax Awards.

We're using Leading and Supporting acting categories, with the conventional definitions that come with those terms. If you're not sure if a performance is leading or supporting, go ahead and guess (and your nomination will be counted) or ask for clarification here.

Nominations will last for about 2 weeks starting now. So let's go! Post your nominations here in any format, with any level of completion. Vote for one category or a few or all of them.

Alternatively, you can PM me your nominations.

You can also nominate on Discord, but please don't nominate the same thing in both places.

Feel free to make a case for a particular nomination if you so desire.
