2014 View From Valehaven Recap- Part 2 And The Nominees Are

One of the responsibilities the View staff took on this year was reviewing the years worth of content and picking the nominees for the View awards related to our content. While the other nominee list won't come out till early next week, we're sharing this one early so you will have plenty of time to read any of the articles below you might have missed.

To explain our process any staff member could put anything on the list to consider for nomination. From there we each rated pieces on a scale of 1-5. If something was written by a staff member or there was a potential for bias (for example Kelly with the picture of Gwen), we abstained. The top 8 in each category are included. There are less in poetry/fiction as there were less than 8 pieces put forward for consideration.
