Why not add an 'up and coming' style award for people who lurk/on the edge of sc2sea maybe encourage a bit more interaction?
Aside from that for the important ones seems everyone is on the same page
Eddie, Philo, Elusory get all the awards XD
Maynarde once asked if I'd be willing to help out with the awards side of thing. Although I didn't hear anything further afterwards, I'm still happy to help out if the mod team needs a glorified secretary for badge assigning.

I wouldn't mind seeing this become a bit more private, like maybe an email submission or a web form that didn't display publicly. I just think it becomes a bit of a popularity contest... not necessarily a bad thing, but I just think awards are a bit more meaningful when say, 5 people take the time to submit someone's name after coming to the decision independently, rather than say one person posting on a thread and 9 people just agreeing that it's a good idea (not necessarily coming up with the idea that the person deserves to be awarded independently.
For a form, you could include a text box where people can say why they think someone is deserving, give links to example posts, etc

More than happy to accept submissions via PM.
Or if you'd rather talk to another mod, I'm sure any of them would be happy to take your submissions into consideration. After ACL I'll try and stir up the mods into making some decisions about this..
The SC2SEA Admins response is 'yeah this is a good idea, I think you should go ahead with it' rather than selecting a few people themselves.. so I'll find some time to get all the nominations together and dish out a bunch of awards.
I'd also like to nominate Saulo for his contributions to the scene and donations to regular tournaments. What a baller he is!!
Can I nominate Crescendo for keeping his quality Behind the Name series going for so long despite there being much more interest around pointless dramaz instead of good content?
Even the smallest donations help keep sc2sea running! All donations go towards helping our site run including our monthly server hosting fees and sc2sea sponsored community tournaments we host. Find out more here.
