Howdy Stackers!
On Dec 2nd I shared an idea to establish a festival for Stackers where we celebrate together by handing out a few awards to those that have been the best of the best in 2024. To realise it, I've come up with a draft as following.

The Awards Categories

There will be 5 awards in total for this year's festival.
  • Stacker of the Year
  • Territory of the Year
  • Zapper of the Year
  • Troller of the Year
  • Post of the year

Nominations

Like every award show, we'll also have nominations but they are open to everyone. Let's see how.
  • For every award category, I'll make a seperate post 'Asking Nominations for.....'.
  • All Stackers will be allowed to submit a maximum of 5 choices for every category. (If you submit more, the first five will be counted as valid).
  • After the deadline for nominations, out of all the submissions by Stackers, the top five choices (by number of selection) will be selected for the final nominations.
  • The final and top 5 nominations for each category will then move to the final round.
Final Round and The Winner
  • I'll create a poll for each category with top 5 nominations where Stackers will again vote to decide the winner.

The Award & The Prize

  • Contribution by stackers:
  • My Contribution: 10k Sats
  • @grayruby promised 5k sats
  • @DesertDave promised 5k sats
  • @Imyourfed promised 3k sats.
  • Zaps on "SN Annual Awards" Posts All Sats Zapped to these posts (-30%) will also contribute to the pot. So far we've got 308 Sats here #791735

Important Dates:

  • We'll begin nominations for each category on or before December 15th.
  • The Deadline for the submission or edit on nominations will be December 25 end of day UTC.
  • The polls for winners will be out on or before December 28.
  • The announcement of the winner and the Award ceremony will happen on New Year's Eve (31st Dec USA or January 1 India).
As I said,
Tell me/suggest me/criticize me. But think of it in terms of creating a festival for Stackers on SN.
The draft and the stage is set for the first ever Award festival on SN, the first post for nominations will be out very soon. Until then you can have your say in the comments box and feel free to ask for any confusion or clarifications.
Sats for all
Thank you so much.
Edit 1: All Sats accumulated towards the "SN Annual Rewards Pot", will be equally distributed among all five Award categories.
Edit 2: In addition to Sats as reward, the winners will also recieve a badge of honour (a medal or trophy).

Good one. I like award shows. Take 1k sats from me.
reply
Thanks. I was expecting more from you. ;)
reply
I didn't see your original post.
I pledge 5001 sats.
reply
No problem. That was just an idea post so you can skip.
Thanks for the pledge of 5001 sats, +1 than grayruby's!!!
reply
Is it?
reply
Great! Now you're pretending. You deliberately did it. Didn't you? Grayruby's mentioned in the post.
reply
It's also one more than DesertDave, but I don't see you bringing that up.
reply
Sometimes, I don't understand these phrases native speakers bring up.
Does 'bringing that up' mean same as bringing up a kid?
reply
No, it means you didn't mention it.

This contest sounds fun! Let's do it!
reply
Thanks. This isn't a contest though. It's Stackers' Choice Annual Awards function which I see will create some fun and engagement.
