Thanks.

Even though I'm in the running myself, I'd like to nominate ThatOneGuy as Best Spoiler Hunter for finding info on I'll Sue Ya a couple weeks before it was even recorded. He found the info on AMW-A but since that poster isn't a member here ThatOneGuy should get a nomination.
This means something. This is important.

I've regrouped ... had time to do some looking around ... and came up with six more categories to hopefully generate enough interest to get us to 27.

They all have really catchy titles, too! And they will be open to accept nominations for three days (the other categories are all closed), until January 14th, at midnight EST.

Let's all welcome the following categories to this edition of the WOWAY Awards ...

Best Poll
(What can be nominated here? Any topic that was created in this forum that has a green envelope next to it and was created during the time period of October 28th, 2005 and December 15th, 2006. There are plenty of 'em!)

Best Fan Creativity Topic
(What can be nominated here? Basically, any topic in this forum that was created before December 15th, 2006, and was at least posted in during the time period of October 28th, 2005 and December 15th, 2006. Unfortunately, this does not include the Straight Outta Where topic (one of my personal favorites) ... but we have a lot of fun creative topics, and a bunch of creative people, so we should be able to fill this one up pretty easily!)

Best 2007 ALbum-a-Month Fan Art Alendar Submission
(What can be nominated here? Any of the 12 months that were submitted for this awesome piece of work, created by WOWAY members. I will also accept nominations for anyone who worked on it, if that so grabs you. Go here to see when the process started. And you can go here to see who submitted what month (keep in mind that Jigawatt filled in for the month of April). And you can go here to see the final product and order one if you haven't already done so. A lot of work went into this, and it should be easy to nominate for!)

Best Accordion Playing WOWAY Member (thanks for the idea, Seva)
(What can be nominated here? Well, if you know someone who plays the accordion and is a member of the forum ... there ya go. Some accordion playing members that I know of include ThatOneGuy, Aron, Seva, jake waters ... there are many others!)

WOWAY Member Most Likely To Celebrate Weasel Stomping Day
(What can be nominated here? Well, if you could just picture a WOWAY member stomping the heck outta some weasels ... there ya go!)

WOWAY Member Most Likely To Have Al Sniff His/Her Blouse During A Future Concert While He Is Performing "Do I Creep You Out?" (told ya they have catchy titles)
(Don't really need to expand on this, do I?)

Let the nominations begin! And have fun!

(same rules apply, by the way ... no nominating yourself, only one nomination per person per category, blah blah blah)

I make the following nominations:

Best Fan Creativity Topic ~ "Straight Outta Where?"

Best 2007 ALbum-a-Month Fan Art Alendar Submission ~ I recuse myself from nominating in this category, not because I'm one of the artists, but because I worked closely with all the great people involved with this and it would be like trying to choose a favorite child. :P

Best Accordion Playing WOWAY Member ~ jake waters

WOWAY Member Most Likely To Celebrate Weasel Stomping Day ~ Akrovak :P

WOWAY Member Most Likely To Have Al Sniff His/Her Blouse During A Future Concert While He Is Performing "Do I Creep You Out?" ~ scottidog ::puts on mama bear repellent:: :lol:

Great categories, by the way. :bigups:

I nominate Fun With Warning Labels for Best Fan Creativity Topic.

I nominate How "White And Nerdy" Are YOU? for Best Poll.

I nominate Seva for Best Accordion Playing WOWAY Member.

I nominate algonacchick for WOWAY Member Most Likely To Have Al Sniff His/Her Blouse During A Future Concert While He Is Performing "Do I Creep You Out?" (great title, by the way).

EDIT: Jigawatt, I don't believe you can use Straight Outta Where? because it was started after the 15th.

Best Fan Creativity Topic ~ "Straight Outta Where?"

Unfortunately, this does not include the Straight Outta What category

I should learn how to type and use the correct words ... since the "Straight Outta Where Topic" was created after December 15th, it's unfortunately not eligible this time around ... but I know what I am nomination next time if there is an award for it.

You know what ... unless anyone strongly objects ... I'll ignore its creation date, and add it in if we are looking for more nominations in the category come the 14th. :Y

The rest of your nominations will be added ... and thanks.

:(

If this is true, then I withdraw this nomination until the next Awards. I'm sure there's something else worthy of nomination that I'll hunt down. :Y

edit: was that written in your post? I guess I read too fast. :lookaround:
