Title: ATAR Notes Awards 2016 - VIC Nominations
Post by: jamonwindeyer on November 07, 2016, 05:57:20 pm: (http://i.imgur.com/v8QnjUi.png)

This is the VIC nominations board, if you'd like to nominate NSW users, click HERE.

Yep, they're back! An annual tradition since 2013, the AN Awards are returning again for 2016 (a little earlier than normal)! Essentially, the AN Awards are just a bit of fun and designed to give some recognition to some of the members who, in 2016, have stood out in some way to you. Nominating someone is one way you can say thanks, you could very well make someone's day!

This is our very first set of interstate awards. The NSW community has been growing strong all year, and it is really exciting to be able to recognise some of the first people who have helped make that possible. There will be separate nominations and awards for NSW and VIC.

The categories are:
MVP (Most Valuable Person) of AN VIC (No National Moderators or Admins)

The way it works is that above we have the categories for each of the Awards; unfortunately not all boards are represented as we've chosen the ones with the most traffic. Any member can nominate any other member (one per category) by posting below in this thread following the below template. Note that you may nominate users for all categories or just a few categories and you can nominate multiple categories to the same user (just not multiple users to the same category). You also can't nominate yourself. In a few weeks we'll be locking this thread and creating an anonymous poll where you guys can vote away (we can check IPs of voters to make sure no one cheats, but this is for fun remember!)!

Sample nomination:
Code: [Select]
My nominations: - Most helpful in Maths boards: User X - Funniest member: User Y - Scariest mod or admin: User Z
So you don't have to nominate users for all categories if you don't want to, although we'd encourage you to try and thank everyone who helped you out this year if you can!

For a simple copy/paste of all the categories:
Code: [Select]
- MVP of AN VIC (No National Moderators or Admins) - MVP Class of 2016 (only graduating users can be nominated) - Most helpful in Maths boards - Most helpful in Science boards - Most helpful in English boards - Most helpful in Business boards - Most helpful in Health/PE boards - Most helpful in Monash boards - Most helpful in UniMelb boards - Most helpful in Admissions - Funniest member - Most insightful/wise member - Most supportive/motivating member - Coolest IRC Dude - Best in Water Cooler - Scariest mod or admin (must be a moderator or admin)
Note: if you get nominated and would not like to accept the nomination, feel free to post that in this thread, but remember it is just a bit of fun!

Prizes will be honour and respect, as well as a special custom title from Brenden on your profile that will show to others how much you're appreciated (if, of course, you want it put there) :)

Previous winners and honourable mentions (second place getters) can be found here:
- 2013: AN Awards 2013 RESULTS (this thread also has good comedic value if you've got some free time haha)
- 2014: AN Awards 2014 Results!
- 2015: AN Awards 2015 Results!

Thanks heaps, let's get nominating! Please keep this thread free for nominations by minimising chat and banter ;)

With the exception of the very last award category, national moderators will NOT be eligible. For VIC that's Aaron, heidii, Shepherd41, literally lauren, melting meithy, spectroscopy and vox nihili. Honorary moderators/admins are also not eligible. The state moderators ARE eligible for any award category :)

:( This is a change from previous years!

Previously, ONLY the overall MVP awards were not allowed for nat mods? Is this change intentional? (i.e. we could be funny or good at English or IRC freaks, not just scary mods...)

i.e. I don't want to be robbed of my chance to get just one award :( ;)
