As you know, it's an ATAR Notes tradition to hold an end-of-year awards ceremony. The basic idea is to acknowledge
everybody (not just those who receive awards or who are explicitly mentioned) who contributed to ATAR Notes in that given year. Ultimately, without all of you, ATAR Notes just... wouldn't be ATAR Notes haha.
But it's important, too, to recognise past winners, for each and every one of the members below has made a significant and meaningful contribution to this community of ours. This thread will serve that very purpose!
The 2013 AN AwardsIn the first AN Awards since 2010, more than 100 votes were counted.
lzxnl was voted the 2013 MVP, with an Honourable Mention being awarded to
lollymatron. lzxnl is still active to this day, and has amassed more than 3,000 posts since joining ATAR Notes in June 2012. The Class of 2013 MVP was awarded to
Alwin, who is now one of our most experienced ATAR Notes lecturers. Other prolific winners included
brenden (English Most Helpful, Most Insightful/Wise, Most Supportive/Motivating) and
pi (IRC MVP, Admissions Test Most Helpful, Funniest Member, Scariest Moderator), who now have more than 20,000 posts between them.
The 2014 AN Awards2014 was
literally lauren's year, voted AN MVP.
Stick was awarded an Honourable Mention. In his opening post, Brenden summed it up nicely: "Lauren probably won all the awards anyway (inc. the ones she wasn't nominated for)." It was a decent prediction, too, because she also picked up the English Most Helpful award.
Zealous won the 2014 MVP award, and is also one of our best-known lecturers. Brenden backed up the Most Insightful/Most Supportive double, whilst keltingmeith picked up Maths Most Supportive and Science Most Supportive.
The 2015 AN AwardsIn 2015, it was all about the #bangalibandwagon, as
heids took home the ATAR Notes MVP. She was also voted Health and PE Most Helpful, Most Insightful and Most Supportive in what was a pretty incredible year personally.
Orb was given an Honourable Mention for both overall MVP and Class of 2015 MVP.
zsteve - possibly our best-known current lecturer - took out the 2015 MVP award.
The 2016 AN AwardsFor the first time, and very excitingly, the 2016 AN Awards covered both Victoria and New South Wales. Our 2016 MVPs were
zsteve and
ssarahj respectively.
heids was again voted Most Supportive and Most Insightful, whilst
Swagadaktal was deemed the funniest member. In an upset for the ages,
Ask Monash University was awarded Most Helpful in the University of Melbourne Boards (thanks, Alter).
The 2017 AN Awards2017 was a huge year for ATAR Notes - both Victoria and New South Wales, with great development in both states. The Victorian MVP was
K888, with
Jess1113 taking out the NSW iteration. It was a strong year with many deserving winners, reflected by several Honourable Mentions.
sudodds pipped
Calebark for Funniest Member by the smallest of margins (hehe), whilst
elysepopplewell was deemed Most Insightful. In his last full year as a National Moderator,
Aaron picked up Scariest Mod - nice work, dude!
