2. Use color-coded index cards in your conference packet. Pink for Poetry,
Blue for Non Fiction and Yellow for Fiction.

4. You can only vote once in each genre. Voting starts at 8:45 AM Saturday.
5. There is a box provided for the placement your ballots.
6. At 2:30 PM all voting will end and ballots will be tallied. The winners

[[NOTE: I think if you entered you can vote for
yourself...does that sound right? I think last year people "recused"
themselves when they could have voted. Also you can enter all 3 genres &
vote for yourself in all three genres.]]
