    Great idea Kev.

    So is this going to be a thread where we suggest particular awards for the year or nominate actual posters? Like awards for Best poster, most improved poster, funniest poster, best blog, etc.....

    No point having it tbh as the 2 main awards poster of the year (hotspur) and thread of the year (hawkeyes night on the tiles) are already locked in imo.

    The only other topics I can think of would be locked up by DBC so not much point in having them.

    It's actually great to see the development of the forum through those Awards, looking at the Indo Organiser of the Year award, in 2005 there were 20 Votes, in 2006 65 Votes and last year 112 Votes. How many this year??

    We could have a 'best contributor to the theory forums' award, or something along those lines?

    I won't be used as a piece of meat like last year.... The masses tried to reverse troll me by nomiating me and then the tetchy chimps came out of the woodwork and down from the monkey puzzlesles, to denounce the great and powerful Solksjaer......so I decline any nominations this year but would like to agree with dom and say Hotspur for POY (by a Cluchie mile)

    Last years categories are below with winners etc. Is there any categories we should add? Standard process of posting up nomination threads followed by polls open for a few days, then have the official results around the end of Dec. That sound good to everyone?

    would it not be easier to all of the nominations to be made in this thread, with each person doing it in one post eg:

    Independent Tournament Organiser of the Year : XYZ
    Poker Room of the Year : XYZ
    Online Poker Room of the Year : XYZ
    General Poker Website of the Year : XYZ
    Boards Online Player of the Year : XYZ

    Boards Poster of the Year : XYZ
    Thread of the Year: XYZ

    Player of the Year :XYZ

    Very good idea, thanks Pat. I'll just make one nominations thread, once all the categories are decided on. People can nominate then in whatever categories they want to

    I know it's not poker related but since it's been a very common theme in the OTT for the year maybe a best TV series award?

    Also, for the more moorbid side we could have a "First person to top themselves due to the recession award?"

    I'd like to nominate a "Post of the Year" category.

    I'd either choose this or this one but obviously everyone will have their own ideas.

    People should be able to nominate up to 3 in each category imo, otherwise the award will just end up going to the most nominated when it comes to voting time.
