Such applications, if made, are not substitutes for the formal applications. Preliminary applications may be evaluated for various other awards that The American Animal Awards may consider making - we understand the overall goal may be difficult to achieve and, therefore, would like to provide various forms of encouragement along the way. Revenue from Worm Hole may be set aside for such purposes.
Animals are also eligible for nomination where appropriate.
