Ladies and Gentlemen: The time has come to submit nominations for the 2006 Alternate History Awards, affectionately known as the TURTLEDOVE AWARDS. To nominate, please list the author's name or AH.com "handle" and the title of the timeline you wish to nominate. A link to the thread in which the timeline can be read MUST also be included with the nomination. Eligible timelines are those which have been active during the year of 2005...by active, I mean new material has been added to the timeline (not just continuing discussion of a timeline to which no new material has been added). Only timelines which have been posted here on alternatehistory.com are eligible (regardless of whether or not the timeline has been posted elsewhere as well), as the purpose of these awards is to recognize the achievements of the writers and creators of alternate history who have made their home here on alternatehistory.com. You can make nominations in all categories listed below (you do not HAVE to nominate in all, but you can if you like).
