Because you can’t have an award scheme without rules, here are a few:

• candidates can be human or otherwise, real or fictive
• they may be alive or otherwise: there are many exemplars who have passed on but we believe that if they still delight us, they live on
• nobody may nominate or vote for themselves no matter how much they take extravagant pleasure in being alive
• all communications regarding this and other nuannaarpoqian matters will be conducted with irreproachable light-heartedness, courtesy and kindness, otherwise what’s the point
• living winners or other deserving individuals may, at the discretion of the organizer, be sent a bar of chocolate in the post
• barring such occasional and random gifts of chocolate, no other items or money will change hands
• further rules will be added if the need arises
