The deadline for suggestions for Golden Apple Awards 2019 has been extended to Sunday, 19 January 2020, 23:59 EET (GMT+2, Finnish time).

Please take some time to dig up some dope recs and levs that you may've seen or played this year, or to remember who in your opinion was outstanding in any aspect this year. Your input is essential for us to be able to nominate every worthy kuski!

As usual around this time of the year, the time has come for the crucial third step of the Golden Apple Awards – public voting by the community!

The voting happens in the Voting tab of the GAA site. For every category you want to vote in, you have to choose your 5 favourite nominees in order.

Once you have voted, you will get a key that you have to send to pawq. If you want to send your votes via a Mopolauta private message, your Mopolauta account has to be registered before the start of the first step. You can also send your votes to @pawq#0659 in the Elma Discord channel, or with a private message to pawq's profile on elmaonline.net.

Enjoy the voting process! The deadline for sending your votes is Thursday, 21st February, 23:59 EET (GMT+2), and the final show will be held on Saturday, 23rd February, 20:00 EET (GMT+2).

I wrote a long article about history of Elasto Mania: https://palsta.pulu.org/en/60-elasto-mania-1995-2018

A Finnish media company (Sub) included a story of Elasto Mania a few weeks ago in a program named "Radalla". Thanks to Ville_J and other fellows to make this happen!
