THE AN AWARDS - 2018
Yep, they're back! An annual tradition since 2013, the AN Awards are returning again for 2018!! Essentially, the AN Awards are just a bit of fun and designed to give some recognition to some of the members who have stood out in some way for you this year. Nominating someone is one way you can say thanks, you could very well make someone's day!
There will be three categories of nominations:
- NSW Academic, recognising those who have helped out in various subject boards in NSW
- VIC Academic, recognising those who have helped out in various subject boards in Victoria
- Personality Awards, recognising those who contribute in the General Discussion section, and just by being awesome people.
Note: National Moderators/Admins are ineligible for the Academic Awards, but are eligible for the personality awards. State mods are eligible for everything ;D
How it Works: The award categories are below. Anyone can nominate one user per category by posting below in this thread following the template below. Nominations will be open for a couple of weeks - Note that you can nominate for any of the categories you like (EG - NSW users can nominate for VIC awards if they want to!). You can nominate the same person for multiple awards, but you can't nominate yourself.
We'll tally the nominations as you go and then set up a voting form when they close!
Sample nomination:
My nominations:
- Most helpful in Maths boards: User X
- Funniest member: User Y
- Scariest mod or admin: User Z
For a simple copy/paste of all the categories, click 'Select' just below and copy/paste this list. Then just add the user you want to nominate next to each category!

Here are my nominations:
Most of the ANers I would've picked initially have already been nominated, so I've decided to go with some wild cards, close seconds or honourable mentions.
If I haven't nominated anyone for a category, it's either because I (a) don't know what's going on there or (b) the people I would've nominated have been nominated already. If the person is in italics, it means they weren't my first pick, but they deserved a solid mention.
Spoiler
VIC
- VIC MVP: Insanipi
- Most Helpful in VIC English Boards: OzLexico
- Most helpful in VIC Business Boards: Honestly, there seems to be no overall winner here, so I'm going to split this between (Accounting) Maddyv11 and (Legal Studies) Meganrobyn. In the opening post, leave this as null unless no one nominates anyone in this category.
- Most helpful in VIC Health/PE Boards: (Phys Ed) Secretly_a_Poet; would've said Joseph41 for HHD, but he's admin.
- Most helpful in Admissions Boards: (for Year 12) Vox Nihili (but he's a NatMod, so...); (for selective schools) Mi-xao-14*
* I decided to chuck in both sections as they seem to be more or less divided and both are technically "admissions boards". Please put Mi-xao-14 in as the wild card for this category.
Personality Awards
