As has already been stated, nominations are not open yet. The staff will make an announcement when they begin. You're about 6 months premature
No doubt Jake has turned out some darned good looking food he has not been a member long enough to meet the required criteria,.
Smokin' in AZ
was considered for nomination for the class of 2019 but like Jake now, he had not been a member long enough.
There is protocol for submitting nominations. Typically it is done via PM to any of the moderators versus done publicly. They will then check to see if the member meets the criteria and if so, will forward the nominations up the ladder.
Appreciate your input though!! Some good people mentioned here
