Hello and welcome to the first official Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games Awards.

Due to lack of Holiday Games this year, these awards will be for Challenges/Sign-ups, although a special mention goes to kipfizh's "AI Experiment - what would happen if?"

These awards are to celebrate the best Challenges/Sign-ups/Holiday Games from FM07.

I know there are a limited amount of awards, but this is the first year this has happened, so I will see what it turns out like

The process of choosing each winner is simple. You choose out of the 3 shortlisted candidates in each section and the one with the most vote wins. It is really as simple as that. When you have decided what you want to vote for in each category, delete the other 2 in that group and send the completed list to siforumawards@googlemail.com, or for you lazy ones, you can post in the thread, but this would not make your votes very confidential now, would it?

The deadline for voting is 20:00 on Friday the 12th of October.

And thanks to you'll_never_walk_alone; The Golden Boy, and wisla_krakow for all their help in this.

Get voting, and let's hope for a successful awards night.

The awards night will be held on Saturday the 13th of October, at 21:00 (subject to change due to the availability of me and others).

Interesting, but um...

How are the nominees selected?
Are there certain criteria to meet to qualify?

I know it's the first ever, but maybe that's something to think about?

Anyway it's good that you've started this. Hopefully it'll be a success and there'll be many more to come, and it'll be nearly on par with the FMS Awards.

By my "panel" and what they think would be right.

I feel honoured that young Patrik Burda has made the shortlist :thup:
I think i was first to unearth him in Dafuge's challenge many moons ago :cool:, come on Patrik all the way son

San Marino challenge :cool:

Surely the hardest, as I don't think anyone ever got near to completing it? The club side is simple enough, but the national half of the challenge is a lot harder.

Rise of the Low Countries was fb!

Costerkoa deserved some credit for that.

I can see dafuge and Gundo leading the challenges for the next few years though.
