The 2022 Imagineering Awards

[spacemt354]

(Pictured: @PerGron receiving an Imagineering Award)

As 2022 comes to a close, it's time to celebrate the year of imagineering on the forum with the annual Imagineering Awards!

*First to note, as anyone who followed last year knows - the 2021 results have not been released. This year's ceremony will be a 'double-feature' announcing the winners from last year along with the ones from this year.

For the 2022 Imagineering Awards the following categories will be available for nominations:

Best Imagineer

Best Competition

Best Competition Host/Judge

Best Team

Best Project

Best Project in a Competition

Best Competition Prompt

Best Park (in a competition or original thread)

Best Video

Best Concept Art

Best Original Thread

Best Presentation

These categories are mostly the same from last year aside from the addition of Best Original Thread and the subtraction of Best New Imagineer as many of the nominees would be similar to last year's group.

Below and until November 30, feel free to nominate your choices for who should be up to the vote. And then on December 1, the poll will open where you can vote on the winners, which will be announced towards the end of the year.

I'll post some links below to various competitions and threads from the year to make searching easier, but feel free to nominate stuff even if I don't add it below. Thanks and enjoy!​

Best Original Thread - Disneyland Resort Paris: The Next Generation by @TheSorcerersApprentice

Disneyland Resort Paris: The Next Generation

Disneyland Resort Paris is Disney's fourth theme park resort, which opened in the 90s. Although the resort truly broke tradition in terms of introducing Discoveryland in place of Tomorrowland (fixing Disney's long struggle managing to keep the area up to date) and adding beautiful walkthroughs...

It would be cool to do random categories as well. Like Most Prolific Poster. I don't know who that would be because I'm not on everyday, but I'm sure others would.

We usually do superlatives which is similar to what you're suggesting - for people can just say which member they want to win those 'mini' awards, they don't have to be voted on.
