2014 Golden Boogs Nominations
So, it's that time of year again. Time to make nominations for the 2013 Golden Boogs Awards. For those who are new to The Greenhouse, the Golden Boogs are the annual forum awards, nominated and voted on by you, the members of The Greenhouse. The awards are named after a certain former Raider, immortalised in the Golden Boogs trophy.
These are the categories:
Avatar/Signature of the Year
Newbie of the Year
Most Underrated Poster
Matthew Elliott Medal: Funniest Poster
Forum Villain of the Year
Forum Rivalry of the Year
Romance of the Year
Obsession of the Year
Quality over Quantity Award
Best Football Brain
Best Thread or Regular Feature of the Year
Daley C Poster of the Year
What should you do now? Put forward your nomination for one or more categories in this thread. The official nominations will be determined for each category based on your nominations. And then we will vote via a survey tool, in completely confidential manner.
Do you want to host the 2014 Golden Boogs Award Ceremony? All you need to be is smart, clever and funny, be prepared to produce and direct the ceremony, and finalise the vote count. It's a whole heap of work, but The GH posters will forever be in your debt and wash your car every Saturday. PM me if you're interested. Otherwise you'll all end up with me hosting again, and no one wants that.
And remember, we'll do the Football Awards through the 2014 Highs and Lows polls.

I would love to nominate Pigman for every single award and than he doesn't get any votes.
Well, at least Jack got paid.

You can't award funniest poster to Hooter, he only posts a weekly column! Isn't there an award for that??Tim W wrote:Newbie: fair cop
Underrated: reptar
Elliott medal: the hooter
And GE, how can you say duplicate accounts have been excluded and then you nominate Bumblebee who is clearly Worm??
This whole awards is a debarkle!
Anyway, I nominate reptar for ****ing everything. Everything!! Even rivalry, against Turt, for the weekly pick your scores thread.
