We are thrilled that the Sam and Jack Multimedia Awards have attracted so much attention and participation! It's exciting to discover how many people are still active in this ship and fandom.
We initially conceived these awards as a way to keep people interested and active, but what we soon discovered was a community that was vibrant and alive without any help from us at all! To that end, we can envision bring these awards to the Sam/Jack shipper community in the coming years.
We're staffed by a group of volunteers who sit on our committee and turn out fantastic amounts of work. But, just because the labor is free doesn't mean that these awards don't come at a cost.
We do our level best to use free services whenever we can. However, we felt it was necessary to have a paid URL that would make us easy to find and allow us complete autonomy regarding our website design. We opted to go with GoDaddy for various reasons - not the least of which was that their URL registration and web development package was priced best for our needs.
Currently, the awards are being bankrolled by the committee. We've invested approximately $60 USD so far and know that we'll invest at least that much for the 2015 awards as well. To that end, we'd love it if you were inspired to help us defray those costs. We know not everyone is able to help, but every little bit, well, helps.
If you think you can help us out, please visit our My Event page where you can donate as little as $1. We appreciate all our contributors - be it by making nominations or donations. Thanks for helping us keep the ship alive!
