Crowdfunding: Connecting Creators and Patrons

I like jenny_evergreen's idea of a Patron Award in addition to the awards for Art, Fiction, etc. It might be nice for the creators of crowdfunded projects to nominate patrons and vote in this category, as an extra little "thank you" to the people who support them. Because to my mind, just being nominated by your favorite creator(s) would be almost as thrilling as winning the award itself.

Just a thought!
