I'd like to introduce a new addition to Dream.In.Code. Starting this year, we'll be giving out awards to members who have stood out in the community. These awards may be worn proudly for the entire year by members who receive them. The Dream.In.Code Community Award winners will be nominated and picked by you, the DIC Heads

Starting today, we'll begin accepting nominations through the link below. There are several categories and you may fill out the form twice (for a total of 2 nominations in each category). You don't have to nominate for every category. These are nominations, not votes. Voting will start in December.

Here are the categories:

• DIC Blog of the Year
  
• Most Helpful - Programming
  
• Most Helpful - Web Development
  
• Most Helpful - Computers & Games
  
• Mentor of the Year
  
• Expert of the Year
  
• Author of the Year
  
• Contributor of the Year
  
• Favorite Alumni
  
• Staff Member of the Year
  
• Nicest Member of the Year
  
• Funniest Member of the Year
  
• New Member of the Year (Must have registered in 2008)
  
• DIC Head of the Year

When you are nominating, please look at the entire year, not just the past few months.

Here is the form you may use to nominate: http://spreadsheets....e...VCvEA&hl=en

Great idea...let's recognize the experts, gurus, and others that make this site one of the most valued coding resources on the web.

I think it a fabulous idea, with 1 minor issue.
How do you use the advance search functionality of the site to only include postings within a range of dates?
Cos I ain't sad enough to read a year's worth of posts.
Would be nice to filter the snippets by year as well.

Interesting.

[absynthe]

I would seem thrilled but I'm sure I'd get flamed and such! haha!!

I think it's a good idea though Chris! Cool little Avatars for the winners!

[gabehabe]

So what prize am I gonna get when I win all of the above?

[AmitTheInfinity]

Cool idea...

Well, I am not sure how many of them will go to gabehabe, but from my side he has already won "Funniest Member of the Year"

--EDIT--
That was my 1000!!!
my milestone post on a milestone idea of D.I.C awards, and I mentioned a guy who looks like probable winner of "Funniest Member of the Year" award!.
Coooool. That's a really great coincidence.
