john, sorry but this is not a state sponsored award. it is sponsored by the woofter family, who in honor of their mother and wife, chose who they want from the nominees, given. i will appologize for all who are bent out of shape over this. because in no way do i feel the family or director's of this event need to respond. i don't feel that anyone meant to "waste your time". honestly you can start your own award if you like.
