Pickled Toads: Award Categories

[Haggridd]

Okay, the consensus on categries for the 2003 Pickled Toad Awards 
(the "Pickled Toadies") so far are as follows:

1. Best filk from a musical (best show tune).

2. Best filk from a movie soundtrack.

3. Best TV filk.

4. Best Gershwin filk (I dunno about this one.  All of his songs were 
from musicals or movies, but if there are enough written for a 
separate category, then so be it.)

5. Best filk from rock & roll.

6. Best Beatles filk.

7. Best Disney filk.

8. Best Tom Lehrer filk.

9. Best Christmas Carol (or Chanukkah or Kwanza or Ramadan)filk.

10. Best filk of a tune not known to the listener.

11. Best TBAY filk.

12. Best SHIP filk.

13. Best serious filk.

14. Funniest filk.

15. Best Dramatization of a scene from canon.

16. Funniest treatment of a scene from canon.

17. And, last but not least, Best Filk.

I envision possibly closing nominations at the end of May, and voting 
via HPFGU-OTC poll (maybe on the main list too if the mods approve) 
through June, with actual physical awards-- wait till you see them-- 
to be presented during Nimbus 2003 (or mailed to the winers unable to 
attend).

Any comments, additions, suggestions to consolidate categories I 
would like to whittle down the list to a more manageable number, if 
at all possible, else we'll end up with one-filk categories.  
Best choice of vehicle.

Please comment either here or to me offlist.
