TheFB 2014 Annual Awards - VOTE HERE

TTony · December 2014

We thought this might be a bit of end-of-year FUN.

There are no prizes, other than the recognition of everyone here and some yet-to-be-designed Forum Award BADGE!!

Anyone can nominate a contender in any of the categories listed below. You can nominate yourself if you want to.

Nominations close at midnight on Christmas Eve.

After nominations close, any sober and awake Modmins will pick their top 2-3 in each category and announce the list of candidates (we're only doing that so that we have a list of candidates that practical).

Everyone can then vote for their favourite, either on the thread or via PM if they're feeling shy.

Voting will close at midnight on New Years Day and the results will be announced sometime shortly afterwards. But you're only nominating candidates right now.

There is a separate thread for nominations in each category, the threads are linked in the list below.

- Best Guitar under £500 bought in 2014 - include a pic with your nomination.
- Best Guitar (no £ limit) bought in 2014 - ditto
- Best Guitar made or modded in 2014 - ditto
- Best Amp bought in 2014
- Best Pedalboard - pic to support your nomination is a MUST!
- Best (or FAVOURITE!) Riff of the Month entry - all available to listen to on theFB's SoundCloud playlists.

There might also be some separate admin awards too, but I'm not telling you about those (yet).

Bizarre.

Well, it wasn't intended to be bizarre, or censorious. It was just to make the voting (and vote counting) a more practical exercise.

If we had dozens of options, I thought the votes would be scattered far and wide (ie we'd end up with lots of single votes) which wouldn't be as much fun as having a closer competition with fewer options each getting more votes each.

It was only meant as a bit of fun.
