2012
Four years, guys! Four years of these awards, and yet to lose my interest in doing them (well, aside from Fitz doing half the work last year). This year I'm going to be shaking things up a bit, simplifying categories. and with your help, adding some fun new ones in there! Voting process is the same: two rounds, the nominee selection round, and the deciding round, all votes are sent to me via PM; this year however, I'll be posting my personal votes in the thread for legitimacy's sake. Just in case doing this for four years hasn't convinced you.
General Notes:-The nominated member must be currently active on the site
-Nominated material must be from this year or carried into it from a previous one
-No voting for yourself, obviously, but 'for your consideration' type promotion in this thread is allowed
-Material must be original from AvP Galaxy; check the poster's sources before voting
-You can re-submit your votes if the voting is still open; I'll update your previous list and delete the old
-If you are unfamiliar with a certain category, please attempt to research what it entails
-If you find yourself torn between choices during the first round, feel free to enter both names
