August 12 – Note: This is not a site affiliated with DragonCon nor the Dragon Awards. I have provided it on my blog so that people can see who the finalists for the Dragon Awards are since Dragon Con has only made the list available to people who have registered to vote for them on their web site. If you have registered, you should receive an email with a specific link to a Survey Monkey poll where you can vote for one item in each category. Reports are that people who registered in the last few days to vote have received confirmation that they are eligible, but they haven’t yet received the link.
