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 (http://xixax.com/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=21) 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.
