The 2003 Dance Forums Awards!!!

[SDsalsaguy]

Hi all! Well, 2003 is almost over and marks the first full calendar year for Dance Forums!

In honor of this I propose The 2003 Dance Forums Awards!!! Email me (use the email button at the bottom of my post) with your nominations for 2003! Nominate any "best...” (i.e. post, topic, photo, etc.), "most...,” "funniest...," and any other such item that comes to mind!

I will compile all the responses and, for the New Year’s, will announce the results for The 2003 Dance Forums Awards!!!

[DanceMentor]

Great Idea! I will add a temporary link to the top of the page to increase the response to this post.

[lindy jihad]

super idea.
i vote for my pictures. hah. i would have emailed that to you, but my email is currently broken.
go me!

[Danish Guy]

Done :wink:

[NeoDevin]

Can I nominate myself for coolest new guy?

[SDsalsaguy]

Can I nominate myself for coolest new guy?
Sure, why not? :lol:

Actually, the whole reason that there are no set cattegories is so that these really can be the 2003 Dance Forums Awards -- they'll be whatever you all want them to be!!! So far I've received a whole pleathora of categories and you know what? That's fine! Heck, I might give awards for most nominations made and for most inventive nomination made... :wink:

So, for those of you who haven't emailed me your nominations yet (and heck, for those of you who have and want to send more), look about an inch down, click on my email button, and send me your nominations! :banana:

Nicest Dance Forum - dance-forums.com (I've enjoyed reading for a while. Finally decided to go ahead and start posting) (which creates a new possible award - Longest Holdout before Joining. I'll claim it if no one else does :) )

[Sagitta]

Welcome to the DF family Magwitch! I'm really happy to see that you have finally decided to become an active posting member, and look foward to hearing more from you. :D What sort of dances are you into/interested in?

[NeoDevin]

Welcome to the forums Magwitch.

I withdraw my nomination for most modest poster, and nominate Borikensalsero in my place.

[Magwitch]

What sort of dances are you into/interested in?

Almost exclusivly Lindy, though I've learned a few ballroom style dances (basics only). I grew up in a culture/environment that discouraged dancing, so its been a new and extremely enjoyable experience for me.

Thanks for the welcomes.

In keeping with the topic, I'd like to nominate Borikensalsero for username requiring a double reading to get right. My brain thinks "Broken" salsero every time, even though I know it's Boriken.
