Introducing the first annual Climbing Awards.
As a motivational, fun, and exciting event ottawaclimbing.com will be nominating Ottawa-Gatineau climbers for awards. Starting this year, and hopefully repeating every year, ottawaclimbing.com will happily be supporting and congratulating climbers for their accomplishments, dedication, and passion for the activity we love so much.
There are five categories this year:
-
Climber of the year - Send of the year
- Most improved climber
- Most dedicated climber
- Most supportive climber
Of course this is open for all types of climbing. There will be a topic in the Climbing Awards 2008 section for each of these categories. Inside these topics I encourage all of you to nominate as many people as you like. Nominations will be open for approximately two weeks. At the end of that time I will compile the list of nominees into polls where we can all vote for our choice. Nominations will not be anonymous but votes will be anonymous. I will notify nominees by email when the two weeks are over and voting begins. I don't know how long I will keep the voting open for yet.
Don't be discouraged if someone already nominated the person you wanted to. Nominate them again, or just comment on the previous nomination. I want a lot of discussion.
I wouldn't be surprised if everyone on the forum could be nominated in one way or another.
To nominate a climber they must be a member of the forum. Every nomination needs to also include a nice justification explaining why you are nominating them. Not everyone is aware of all of the impressive events that went down this year so please explain.
Please take a little time and nominate / vote. Prizes are still being thought up but there will definitely be a prize for the winner of each category.
I know that Leanna and I would be down for donating some cool prizes (money, gifts, services) and if anyone else wants to it'd be much appreciated.
