One nomination per category per poster.You don't have to nominate in every category, but do try, as it would be brilliant if you could, as if we could get at least 5 nominees for each award, that would be pretty ideal and no, you can't nominate yourself.

Please use the format for your nominations otherwise they will not count.

For the photo and thread of the year please link to them otherwise they will not be counted as nominations.

When we've got our nominees in around 1 week, we'll lock this thread and then everyone can have their vote on a seperate thread(s).If there are no clear nominees the winner will be selected by the Motor Mods.

Don't bother posting if you're gonna be nasty.It'll be deleted and the same rules will apply regarding infractons/bans.

Enjoy
