The official PreQuill ceremony for the 14th annual Quill Awards - Friday 14 May 2021 @ 5pm |
Hello and welcome to the 2020 PreQuill Gala! Thanks to all who nominated and congratulations to all those who were nominated! What's a PreQuill, you ask? Well, it's a red carpet event for all our nominees, panelists, and friends (and anyone who wants to attend) to come and mingle! At this event: - you'll experience the big reveal of who the finalists are in 18 big categories; and - we'll present 19 Quill Awards in smaller categories. PreQuill Ceremony Manners: I will give an introduction at the beginning and the presenters will give a little spiel on each award, followed by the announcement of the winner. After each winner is announced, there will be a minute or so of time for the winner to post an acceptance speech if he/she is so inclined and/or present. For the PreQuill, you're invited and encouraged to chat along in the thread! Feel free to give comments, congratulate winners, call out your favorites, describe your attire, etc., etc. (Hint: Press the F5 key to refresh the page and keep up with comments ) You're also welcome to talk in this item both before and after the ceremony. Keep it in the rating please! Have fun!
