LISTSERV Choice Awards Rules

Like last year, the public will be able to vote for their favorite lists and to keep tabs on how each list is doing in the polls. The voting consists of individual monthly contests, and the counters will be reset at the beginning of each month.

After the polls close on July 1, 2010, and the votes from every month are tabulated, the L-Soft jury and Eric Thomas will select the grand prize winner from the three finalists that received the highest number of votes, based on tabulation.

The L-Soft jury will judge the finalists and select a winner based on its determination of the most successful and beneficial email list or email marketing campaign. The decision of the jury is final.

Stay tuned to L-Soft's LISTSERV at Work newsletter in the summer or fall of 2010 as we anticipate announcing the grand prize winner.

Everyone who nominates a list and submits a valid, completed nomination form to L-Soft, with a postal mailing address, will receive an L-Soft promotional item. In addition, each month of the award nomination process, a drawing will be held to select three nominators to receive a LISTSERV t-shirt. A total of up to 21 t-shirts will be awarded.

The Grand Prize Winner (i.e. the email list owner/campaign manager) will receive:

• A special framed certificate, signed by Eric Thomas, author of LISTSERV and L-Soft CEO
• Additional software licenses or hosting services, based on L-Soft's assessment
• 10 L-Soft t-shirts to raffle among email list subscribers
• An award logo that the organization or email list owner can use, for example on the email list subscription Web page
• A special grand prize award

The winning email list will be featured in the LISTSERV at Work newsletter and in press releases and other communications, according to L-Soft's discretion.
