Hello,

Welcome to the voting period of the 14th annual KarateForums.com Awards!

Through these awards, we recognize just a few of the individuals who have made outstanding contributions to KarateForums.com in the past year.

You submitted your nominations and, from those, we have our KarateForums.com Awards 2015 nominees. In all, 23 different members have been nominated in the various categories that make up this year's awards. They are Luther unleashed, Hawkmoon, JR 137, The Pred, Spartacus Maximus, Titanium, liger, sensei8, bushido_man96, ninjanurse, Wastelander, DWx, Zaine, Judodad_karateson, mazzybear, Spodo Komodo, Kusotare, tallgeese, neoravencroft, chiliphil1, Nidan Melbourne, cathal and Lupin1. Congratulations to all of you!

JR 137, sensei8 and bushido_man96 lead the nominations with 5 each, followed by Luther unleashed, who has 4. Our historical award numbers have been updated and several members have hit amazing milestones. Congratulations to bushido_man96 on reaching 35 nominations (now at 36), sensei8 on reaching 20 (22), tallgeese on reaching 20, Hawkmoon on reaching 10 and both JR 137 and Spartacus Maximus on reaching 5.

With the ballots crafted, it is now time to vote.

What You Should Know Before Voting

1. These awards take into consideration all community activity between October 19, 2014 and October 18, 2015. You should vote based upon activity during this period - not activity prior to or after it.

2. To vote, you must have a KarateForums.com account that had at least 10 posts made on or before October 18, 2015.

3. You cannot vote for yourself or an article that you wrote.

4. Please do not attempt to artificially inflate our vote totals in any way. This includes, but is not limited to: trading votes, encouraging people to vote indiscriminately (publicly or privately), sending spam and any other behavior that could lead to results being artificially skewed. Members found to be participating in these activities will be disqualified from nomination in any category.

5. Please note that you do not have to vote in every category. You can vote in as many or as few as you would like - please go for as many as you feel comfortable with. The more valid votes we receive, the better!

Categories

The categories are listed below. For each category, you will find a link to the ballot where you can vote.
