Welcome to Round 6 of the Children of Time Awards. Beginning with this round we've made some changes that will, hopefully, make rounds more manageable and still allow us to offer the more specialized categories everyone is asking for.

Each round we will choose a character for each fandom and have a character category for that character only. At the moment we will be choosing characters we feel don't get the attention they deserve. The character we've chosen this round is PC Andy for Torchwood and Martha Jones for Doctor Who. When voting begins we will put up a poll to allow you to vote for who you'd like to see in the upcoming rounds.

We've also added a Twitter account to let everyone know when we've updated the site or contacted a large batch of nominees. So that everyone can keep up-to-date on what we're doing without visiting the site to check for updates.

MISSION STATMENT

COTA was created as a place where you, the readers and fans, could have a say in honouring the works you enjoy. It's a place where we hope that, by bringing the various segments together under one 'roof' (so to speak), we can all share our love for this fandom and even discover works outside of the segment we usually occupy.

We strive to be inclusive and welcoming; to open our doors to a variety of styles, pairings, and genres. By running this site the way we do, we are trying to create a way for you to reward the works that bring you pleasure, to recognize those works in as concrete a way as fandom allows. We make no apologies for taking this approach, though in doing so, we also do not diminish other ways of running awards sites.

No one site can be all things to all people, but we hope that COTA provides a valuable forum and that it also affords visitors the opportunity to see how broad and diverse the range of fanworks is and inclines them to explore the fandom's boundaries. We thank all of you who participate - whether you are writers, artists, nominators, or voters - and we look forward to continuing to celebrate this fandom with you.
