I know official nominations wouldn't make sense, but I think it might be helpful if some folks suggested some threads, posts, and posters for consideration.

Thread of the Year, Post of the Year, Funniest Poster, New Poster...

Come on folks, help us out. I don't want to ignore worthy posts/posters.

YankeeFan, that was half the point of the "gauging interest" thread.

Hello, good people of SportsJournalists.com.

We are here today to engage in a civic activity demonstrating pride in where and who we are as an SportsJournalists.com nation. We are here to vote.

It's been four years since SportsJournalists.com had an awards voting, but we're not going to make up for lost time because no one has memories worth a damn anymore. So these awards are based on 2012. A few things you need to know before voting:

1. All votes must be sent by personal message to this account. No other votes will count.
2. The DEADLINE for voting is Dec. 21.
3. Voters must have 100 posts, 50 in 2012.
4. The only ways your vote will be revealed to any other poster are if you make it public or if you vote for yourself. You can vote for yourself, but do so knowing that single vote (and not your whole ballot) will be posted for all to see.
5. If you fill out too many names, preference will be given to the first listed. If you vote for ineligible candidates, your vote will not count. There will be no warnings on either of these.
6. The user names of all voters will be listed with the results.
NEW: 7. You may not change your votes, so think them over.

Your votes are your prerogative. You can post them here if you'd like. You are not asked to answer to anyone, though. Fill out the ballot as you'd like. Here it is:

===============================
All-SportsJournalists.com First Team: (pick five)
Smartest Poster:
Funniest Poster:
Master Debater:
Best Canadian:
Best Moderator:
Best Feud:
Best Troll:
Best Newcomer: (registered in 2011 or 2012)
Thread of the Year: (deleted threads are ineligible)
Post of the Year: (must be a single post, so be specific; deleted posts are ineligible)
Running Joke/Meme of the Year:

And, finally, two lifetime achievement awards, to the posters who best represented the values of the namesakes ...

The Ron "spnited" Drogo Memorial Award:
The Craig "SF_Express" Stanke Memorial Award:
===============================

Results should be posted before the new year. We're going to do Poster of the Year the same way Freelance Hack did it, with the five top vote-getters for the All-SportsJournalists.com Team in a poll.

Thank you,

Ballot Box, aka Versatile

I don't know. Do you think I'm funny? Do I amuse you? (Don't answer that.)

Also, if the Post of the Year comes out of this thread, shouldn't it be Post of the Year on Post of the Year?

Valid point.

Not bad, but I'd go with Amy talking about the pressure on those trailing you in the standings

Re: Your 2012 SportsJournalists.com Awards Ballot/Official Thread

I do think Lugs makes a good point. As we go through 2013, if you see someone make a post you want to remember come December, put a #POY hashtag in the thread.

And, for the record, the winner of that category would be copperpot for her bacon/ham switcheroo during the last Sheep game.

Do I at least get some credit for degree of difficulty, for the sheep suit story or the play?

I kind of like this one for its understated elegance.
