One award coming back this year is the best host of a One Sentence Competition, named the Unkadug award. Unkadug was always active in the One Sentence Competition so we thought this would be a great way to honour him.

You can nominate someone for every category, or just a few if you prefer. Nominations are open between now and December 23rd where then the poll(s) will be made for voting to happen.

-If there are any other awards/ superlatives you want to see, go ahead and start a nomination and I will add it in!-

Have Fun and Good Luck!

Good luck to everyone!

Went in and voted. Meant to get nominations in this week and as usual got completely sideswiped by Christmas.
As a side note, I was going to second nominating SA4 for best comp, but loved what @TheOriginalTiki did for the format of his purists vs innovators during sywtbai. Guess i am partial with how it turned out, but it added what I thought was a great element to the comp giving folks creative options.
