All right, I know Cajete tried to do this, but then his beef with Reven took precedence and this fell by the wayside, so I am going to officially. bring forth the HHNG awards. Here are the basic rules:

Any tracks nominated for an award must have been posted between April 7th 2008 and April 7th 2009 unless otherwise stated.

Nominations should be done by PM, or they will not be counted

EDIT: Come on guys, I'm going to need more nominations....

That being said, the following are my categories: I am open to suggestions for new categories until April 15th, at that point the categories will be set. Nominations can be made between now and May 1, and voting will begin then.
