>>I would bump the dates from Jan/Feb to Feb/March; people are still recovering from the holidays in January and you'll probably get a lot better turn out if you bump the dates to the less holiday-affected months.<<
I'm willing to consider that, if enough people feel that it would help. I tend to prefer awards whose timing is easy to remember, and that generate findings promptly. I figured that allowing a month apiece for nomination and judging would be sufficient.

I like the idea of an award for crowdfunding patrons. Perhaps we could add this as a category in this award? It could be spun off later if people desire.

I could do certificates.
