    Drinks [D] THE BEOWORLD AWARDS!

    BeoWorld Member Awards - 2007/8

    To coincide with BeoWorld's First Birthday we have decided to take a look back over the last year and pick out a few areas of recognition to our members.

    There will be three categories, and then the final 'BeoWorld Member of the Year' Trophy' which will be sent by BeoWorld to the Winners house to keep for a year.

    Peter has asked not to be included as he is far too modest and would refuse any award or prize anyway, and i'm running the competition so aren't included. Besides, there isn't a 'most consistently uninformative poster' prize for me to win anyway. LOL

     

    --------------------------- oOOo -------------------------

    BeoWorld Prizes will be issued to the winner of each Category.

    The following categories will be -

    1 - Most Helpful Member

    Is there a certain member that always offers to help and is happy to beaver away behind the scenes to resolve a problem for just about anybody at any time? Has he or she helped you solve an issue once or more than once?  Vote for that person!

    2 - Most Entertaining Member

    Is there a member who always cracks you up laughing and spreads humour across the site?  Has he or she got wit sharper than a sushi chefs best knife, or does that person just have a totally left-field view of everything that makes you chuckle. Vote for him or her!

    3 - Most Valuable Contributor 

    Who in your opinion over the last 12 months has added real quality to the discussions on BeoWorld with their knowledge and wisdom. Do you always look at this persons posts with great interest because you know it will contain fascinating facts or a seriously well informed opinion?  If you have a member that fits the bill - vote for that person!

    BeoWorld Member of the Year 

    This Special Award is for the person who has embodied the spirit of BeoWorld over the last 12 Months. Think of why you come on BeoWorld, why you like it, then think of what it is that makes it so unique amongst all the other sites on the internet. Then, think of the member you feel has done the most to make the site like this. Simple!

    --------------------------- oOOo -------------------------

     
    You all have until April 14th to vote, and votes should be sent to the following email address

    beoworld2008awards@mac.com 

    Votes should simply look like this -  

    1 - member name

    2 - member name

    3 - member name

    MOY - member name

    Once we have gathered them all up, the Winners will be announced on the night of our 1st Birthday - April 16th 2008 !!!

    Please do vote, every single one will count! Smile

    Bloody good idea!!  Perhaps he/she could win a Beolab 5
    And perhaps another Beolab 5 to the second highest poster.

    I'm here!
    Welcome back LeeSmile You snook in the back door, hope you enjoyed your holiday.

    Well I'm flattered that my name gets a couple of mentions there. I can think of lots of people that should be, but haven't been mentioned.
    Pity Peter abdicated, he'd have swept the floor, I'm sure.

    Abdicated sounds a bit scary! Lee doesn't take part as he has already won it and I don't as long long ago, the members actually awarded me a prize as well - I had dinner bought for me by general collection! And very nice it was too! Laughing
