Here's is a simplified version of the award rules so are all known:
NOMINATIONS
1) Nominations are made at http://www.idateawards.com
2) Anyone can Nominate. You can nominate your site. You can nominate someone else's. All you need to do is type in the site name in the category. The site needs to actually do what the category asks.
For example: Best Dating Site must be some type of dating site. Any type of dating site is fine, as long as it is a dating site.
3) PLEASE: Make Nominations for all or as many categories as you can - In each of the 11 categories, you can make one nomination. You are allowed to nominate for all 11 categories, or as few as one. This can be done only once; you can't add nominations.

You can nominate a site for Best Dating Site, the same or a different site for Best Matchmaker, the same or a different site for Best New Technology, etc.
You can't can nominate a site for Best Dating Site, then go back to the site and make another nomination for Best Dating Site. You can only make one nomination to one category.
You can't nominate a site for Best Dating Site, then go back to the site later and make another nomination for Best Matchmaker. You have to make all your nominations at once.

4) Members of the Internet Dating Executive Alliance (IDEA) also can nominate.
They are allowed one nomination for each of the 11 categories. They can nominate only one time.

6) Nominations are counted up. In order to serve the best interest of the industry as a whole and the event, nominations made by IDEA members will be weighed to represent 90% of the nominations, and the public will be set at 10%. This is done to prevent fraud. In each category, the top 5 sites with the most nominations will be official nominees of the awards.
