Official NCT (All subunits) Voting Thread 2024 ♔ Status: Final voting, see 2nd post!

[Mina]

Welcome to 2024 Award Season's voting thread for NCT. Here we will suggest and vote on the new badges for the boys!

If you want to be a keeper for NCT Wish badges, feel free to tell me - if we gather 2 keepers for at least one member or the group badge, we can vote on their badges in this thread! This also applies to Dojaejung, I'll be a keeper for that one so we only need one more!

General guidelines
- No fantaken images.
- Only HQ pictures.
- No heavily edited images.
- No extreme contrast, highlighted colors, or super light/dark images.
- Face should be centered.
- Only screenshots from Music Videos, CFs and official content are allowed.
- Selfies are not allowed, however, pictures taken by someone else are allowed (examples of such: here, here, here or here). Still, keep in mind that these have to meet all the other guidelines as well.
- Profiles can be used, as well as some object coverage is allowed. Face coverage isn't totally ruled out but the more you can see of the artist the better. Profiles are OK if we can clearly tell who the artist is.
- Derp faces / Exaggerated facial expressions / Unrecognizable. These will not be allowed, badges are not to be meme-like or anything that is out of the ordinary/unpleasant, such as: frowning, crying, etc. We will also not be allowing badges that look weird and in which people look unrecognizable - regardless of it being an official picture.
- Any mocks found to be too zoomed in or zoomed out will need to be readjusted, as all badges must be able to resized down to 74x74 properly. In the event a mock does not pass crop standards, it will need to be readjusted until our quality standards are met.
- The Awards team reserves the right to re-do a mock if we feel they are not in accordance to all the aforementioned rules.

Extra guidelines:
- Please don't use anything that was released prior to 2020's Awards Season. This means the material you're suggesting forward should have been released from 2021 and onwards. Since that's 3 years ago and NCT have been quite active since then, I think it's a fair rule! Exceptions may be made for Wayv members only.
- Badge holders will be given a double vote in both preliminary and final votings. However, you must have claimed the badge before June 5th to be counted.
- All current badges will be included in final voting.
- Official suggestions are limited to 3 per member and user, for quality's sake. Please make sure you only suggest pictures you'd like to see win, it's ok post badge options for discussion among the participants before officially submitting it.
- If you're unable to make badges, feel free to post pics in here and I or someone else will help!

Schedule:
Like last time, I will do it in age order which means each member will be put in a group according to their age:
Group 1: Group badges (NCT, NCT U, NCT 127, NCT Dream, Wayv)
Group 2: Taeil, Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Kun, Doyoung, and Ten.
Group 3: Jaehyun, Winwin, Jungwoo, Mark, Xiaojun, Hendery and Renjun.
Group 4: Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Yangyang, Chenle and Jisung
If NCT Wish and NCT DoJaeJung get keepers we will squeeze them in after Group 4.

You can vote until July 1st 12:00 PM CEST. Keepers’ votes will count double.
Editing/crops can always be fixed later on if needed, so focus on what photos you like the best!
