The winners are out! WHOOOOO! After all the waits and delays, the winners have been determined! Unfortunately, this cycle will not include Judges' Pick for any of the categories as not all categories received the picks from the judges and I would personally have all or nothing than some.Noticed the brilliant layout? This wonderful piece of art is once again by Anda. The coding was done by me so if there's anything that's off, please let me know! I hope the font isn't too hard to read - finding a single colour that could match with the background was nearly impossible. But let me know, on the cbox, if you have any suggestions.
Anda and Aderyn also created the winners' graphics so send them lots of love! They deserve it considering how they've stuck with 'Nella through thick and thin.
I would like to send out thanks to all the visitors of 'Nella (yes, you!)! It has been a tough and long cycle but thank-you for staying, checking and keeping this site alive.
Now I've received questions on whether the Spring cycle will commence immediately after this cycle to keep the site on track. As much as I would like to, I don't think I will be able to find the staff in the short time-span of a month to start another cycle. A lot of planning goes on before a cycle begins and due to the delays of Cycle 3, I have not started planning Cycle 4 at all yet. However, I still do hope that Campanella will continue running. The Judge application is still up - if I can find enough staff members to run Cycle 4 on time, then perhaps I will! :) In the meantime, I may do a little cleaning up and/or expanding the site.
For now, congratulations to all the winners and I hope you enjoy your stay at Campanella! (Did that sound cheesy or what? Haha.)

Final update of the year. Might as well end the year with a BANG! :)I have some explaining to do, don't I? Haha. Well, I would like to apologize to everybody who's still following Campanella for the huge delay. Nonetheless, Campanella is still alive! Thank-you so much to those of you who still check into this site - I am so thankful for your continuing support. THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU SO MUCH! :D
See the wonderful new layout? Definitely bright and bubbly, ain't it? It was created by the wonderful Anda. Anda also created the 'Nominated' buttons on the Nominees page, with some help from MaGa. Show them lots of love! They also helped motivate me to update the site again - they are definitely saviours. :)
Thank-you to all the judges who kept going, slaved through all the nominees, even though I went MIA midway through. This cycle DEFINITELY would not be happening if it wasn't for the hard work of these judges.
I have updated the nominees list and it is the finalized list. Congratulations to all the nominees! Unfortunately, L'Horror Award will not be running this Cycle as there were insufficient nominees. All the other categories are good to go though. :)
And so, without further ado, voting has opened! Go vote, vote, vote!
AND HAPPY NEAR YEAR, EVERYBODY! SEE YOU IN 2011. :)

Look! It's an update!After over a month-long silence - no, Campanella is not dying. However, we do need, need, need MORE nominations. Yes, I know voting period was supposed to start but if you click onto the updated Nominees page, you will see that we don't have many qualified nominees.
Of course, part of the fault lies in the fact that our judges have not finished reading some of the stories, but even so, we would love to receive more nominees.
For now, we have no idea when voting period will start. We're hoping as soon as possible but that largely depends on when we will have passed a sufficient amount of qualified nominees. :)

After over a week-long delay, nomination period has officially begun!I would like to apologize to those who waited patiently for nominations to begin. I am extremely sorry for the delay but we did hit quite a few snags and bumps before the start of Cycle 3. Hopefully, now that it has finally begun, it will run smoothly.
I would also like to give a shout-out to Aderyn who created this lovely layout to jumpstart our Cycle 3. The theme for Cycle 3 will be Carnival so expect to see some colourful and vibrant graphics this cycle!
We have also moved our site again. Unfortunately, my previous host informed me that she can no longer host me on Overloaddd. This will hopefully be our permanent home. There are still a few kinks I have to sort out. Please let me know if you see anything funky!
Anyhow, it is time to nominate, nominate, nominate!
EDIT: If you have submitted a nomination during the first two hours of nomination period, please re-submit them! There was some confusion with the form provider I was using. The problem is now fix though. Sorry for the inconvenience!
