Every year, our mountain bike sister site, Mtbr.com, has something called the Grimy Awards (http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=257554). They're informal (and irreverent) awards based on a survey posted on the forums there. I was thinking this might be something you guys would like, too. I would like it.

But someone has to step up and make it happen. That means making a questionaire, posting it, collecting and tabulating the results, and naming the winners (and losers).

Anyone willing to take this on?

OK, I will...
Since I am familiar with the Grimmy's
We'll call them, "The View Finder Awards"!
Original isn't it!
:roll eyes: :D :p

Email me your top three votes.

You don't have to provide three votes nor do you have to vote for all categories.
Vote your conscious !
Since I came up with these, no one can complain.
Fair enough?
I'll compile them and post them at the end of the month or so.

Any questions?

And don't forget, Brian's First Rule of Photography...
Have Fun!
This is what the "View Finder Awards" are all about my friends, FUN!
Get it?
Fun It's Contagious! Pass It On!

:thumbsup:

Thanks for taking this one, Brian!

E-mail or PM? Is your e-mail available through the system?

Yeah, my email is listed properly.
But for some reason I don't get much, from here as far as PM notices and what not.
So email me at mtbbrian at mtbbrian dot com
PM's are OK too, but email is preffered.

I know its a new feature on PR, but you might want to think about a best blog category. If not this year, then it is definitely something to think about next year.

Nice... maybe change name for 'In Focus Awards'?

Dually noted!
Let's hope that this takes off like it has on mtbr.
Then we'll consider adding a new category.
So come on and vote!

Gotta think on that one... :D

Actually I'm going to have to think on all of these - are we talking about funniest/favorite/cutest from all of 2006? That's a lot of shots! What's the easiest way to search for them?

No voting for yourself!
Yes, we are talking for all of 2006.
