Hello,

Welcome to the voting period for the 20th 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 2021 nominees. In all, 16 different members have been nominated in the various categories that make up this year's awards. They are Zaine, Spartacus Maximus, Himokiri Karate*, Wado Heretic, tatsujin*, SLK59*, sensei8, bushido_man96, ashworth*, DWx, Fat Cobra, Bulltahr, aurik, Alan Armstrong, The Pred, and Wastelander. Congratulations to all of you! An asterisk (*) denotes a first-time nominee!

bushido_man96 was nominated in 5 categories, the most of any member, followed by Himokiri Karate and sensei8 with 3. Our historical award numbers have been updated and new milestones have been reached!

Congratulations to bushido_man96 on being the first member to reach 50 nominations (now with 54, 1st all-time), which is just an absolutely massive milestone! That's incredible. Another big one: DWx has reached 30 nominations (now with 31, 3rd all-time). Congrats Danielle!
