I like this idea A little unofficial awards sounds fun.

I'm not even sure if we'd need more awards than the one you posted. Unless we have Most Dedicated Minion (which should
go to Chuck this year for his great tattoo!!).

[Zombie Pumpkins!]

Fun idea. Call out your nominees!

I am a newbie so, I am gonna keep quit on the nomminees. That should be left to the veterans. Should keep it in house though (trust me on this one) & no thin skin I will participate next year LOTS OF TALENT ON THIS SITE. NO DOUBT.

No way Par, you should absolutely contribute, a fresh eye is necessary!

I second this.

Also there does need to be one for set design. I would have to vote for Amanda for her pumpkin sentinels (it has nothing to do with the fact we are both in Illinois) and Mesmark for his Pirate Halloween.

But that is just me.

Set Design's a good award too... We need a definitive list of awards so we can vote

[GeordieKin]

Great idea. I'd vote for Chuck as most dedicated minion as well. His tattoo says it all.

[Lala]

Best Costume!!!

It's so hard to choose and vote amongst people whom I all like and admire.....

Wow, thanks for the thought everyone... I didn't get the tat with any kind of serious want of recognition in mind at all! Just wanted to do something that showed how much I love and appreciate this site, Ryan for putting in all the hard work to bring it to us, and the companionship of all my fellow minions.

As for the categories that have been referenced, I need to peek through the forums and have a look to see about my thoughts on who should get my vote... I will say that my opinion for best photography would be either Amanda or Raven. THey had awesome awesome awesome pics this year, and i was totally jealous

Also, for "Best New Pattern" my personal 3 nominees would be "HP Lovecraft" because he is a huge personal hero of mine, "American Werewolf..." because of it's intricacy and difficulty, and "The Face of the Minions" pattern because it is so unique to the site, fairly easy for new carvers, and it is (IMO) a representation of all us here and I kind of feel like Ryan made that pattern with us in mind.

I think that the Best New Pattern should go to a VIP, however are we separating those from the publicly available?


In any case:

Best New Pattern (not excluding VIP's) VIP #8 It was a long awaited pattern, and A LOT of us did it.

Best New Pattern (Exlcuding VIP's) Either Jareth (The LONGEST wait, since '06) OR Grave 'N' Raven

Best Photo should go to either Monster Mash, or nameless. It was tough for me to select only these two (I know mine are nothing in comparison).

Here is the one nameless did that I think is worthy:
