 |
|
Hello,
Welcome to the sixth 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. These awards take into consideration all community activity between October 19, 2006 and October 18, 2007. Members must be nominated based upon their activity in this period and articles nominated for Article of the Year must have been published in this span.
To nominate, you must have a KarateForums.com account registered on or before October 18, 2007 with at least one post made before this thread's time stamp. Here are this year's categories:
1. Member of the Year
This award is intended to acknowledge the non staff member who you feel best exemplifies the qualities that KarateForums.com puts a premium on. Knowledge is valuable, but most valuable is a kind and helpful nature. You don't need to be a martial arts expert to be nominated for this award - you need to be someone who is kind and who shares what they know in a productive fashion that helps others. Current staff members (Sempais, Senseis and Patrick) cannot be nominated for this award.
2. New Member of the Year
Basically, this award is the same as the Member of the Year award, except that this one is strictly for members that registered on or between the dates of October 19, 2006 and July 18, 2007. Current staff members (Sempais, Senseis and Patrick) cannot be nominated for this award.
3. Community Spirit Award
This award should go to a person whom you feel has a passion for this community. A person who is all about the home team - in this case, KarateForums.com. Regular members and staff members (except Patrick) can be nominated for this award.
4. Staff Member of the Year
Basically, this award is the same as the Member of the Year award, except that this award is for current staff members only (except Patrick). Regular members cannot be nominated. If you are unsure of who is on staff, please visit http://www.karateforums.com/staff.php for a complete listing.
5. Funniest Member of the Year
Humor is an important aspect of the forums and this award recognizes the member who has brought a smile to your face many times. This person should have a good, clean sense of humor. Regular members and staff members (except Patrick) can be nominated for this award.
6. Article of the Year
This award distinguishes your favorite article that was published in the KarateForums.com Articles section on or between October 19, 2006 and October 18, 2007. You can check when it was published by looking at the time stamp on the post that contains the article. Whether the article enlightened or inspired you, this is the place to recognize it. Visit our articles section at http://www.karateforums.com/viewforum.php?f=44 for a complete list of articles.
There are just three guidelines to keep in mind when nominating:
1. Only one member/article can be nominated for EACH award. In other words, you cannot nominate the entire staff for Staff Member of the Year. You have to pick one person. One person can be nominated for more than one award, however.
2. You can not nominate yourself/article that you wrote for any of the awards.
3. Do not attempt to artificially inflate our nomination totals in any way. This includes but is not limited to trading nominations, encouraging people to nominate indiscriminately (publicly or privately), mass mailing/posting and any other behavior that could lead to results being artificially skewed. Individuals found to be participating in these activities will be disqualified from nomination in any category.
Please note that you do not have to nominate for every category. You can nominate for as many or as few as you would like - please go for as many as you feel comfortable with. The more valid nominations that we get, the better!
From the most popular nominations, the ballot for each award will be chosen and by using the poll system available on these forums, you will be able to vote for the winners!
So, that's all there is to it. Please nominate. You will find a blank ballot at the bottom of this message that you can copy and paste. We need as many valid nominations as possible!
You nominate by sending a PM at http://www.karateforums.com/privmsg.php?mode=post&u=2715 - nominations will be closed on October 31, 2007. Please do not post your nominations on this thread.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to PM me or reply to this thread.
Thank you for reading and for visiting KarateForums.com.
