As I mentioned in the last award's presentation, The Grand Anagramy
Awards will be held in the near future.

Here is a list of all the eligible entrants. Some categories have more
than 12 entrants because of one or more tied results. You may also
notice that the first 4 in the Spam Category were winners from the now
defunct Long Spam Category. The 4 "short" Spam winners have been
dropped from the list.

As you will notice, some members have two or more entries in a
category. As I mentioned previously having several entries in a Grand
Anagrammy category may actually disadvantage you, because voters may
spread their votes over several of your entries. The thinking seems to
be "Oh, I'll vote for one of A's and one of B's anagrams".

So, could you please read through the list and where you have more than
one in a category (espcially in the three long categories), think
seriously about reducing the number. There is no compulsion to do this
and if you wish to run all your entries, that is OK.

The aim of this request is to make the voting process easier (esp in
the longs) and probable more exciting too.

At the end of each category I have list people with more than one entry.
