Hello and welcome to the first official Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games Awards.
Due to lack of Holiday Games this year, these awards will be for Challenges/Sign-ups, although a special mention goes to kipfizh's "AI Experiment - what would happen if?"
These awards are to celebrate the best Challenges/Sign-ups/Holiday Games from FM07.
I know there are a limited amount of awards, but this is the first year this has happened, so I will see what it turns out like

The process of choosing each winner is simple. You choose out of the 3 shortlisted candidates in each section and the one with the most vote wins. It is really as simple as that. When you have decided what you want to vote for in each category, delete the other 2 in that group and send the completed list to siforumawards@googlemail.com, or for you lazy ones, you can post in the thread, but this would not make your votes very confidential now, would it?
The deadline for voting is 20:00 on Friday the 12th of October.
And thanks to you'll_never_walk_alone; The Golden Boy, and wisla_krakow for all their help in this.
Get voting, and let's hope for a successful awards night.
The awards night will be held on Saturday the 13th of October, at 21:00 (subject to change due to the availability of me and others).

How are the nominees selected?
Are there certain criteria to meet to qualify?
I know it's the first ever, but maybe that's something to think about?
Anyway it's good that you've started this. Hopefully it'll be a success and there'll be many more to come, and it'll be nearly on par with the FMS Awards.

Have to admit that I'm slightly surprised about the 'best sign up' shortlist, the sign up I would have voted for - 'Rise of the Low Countries' by CoachFlu isn't even in the list!
I feel honoured that young Patrik Burda has made the shortlist
I think i was first to unearth him in Dafuge's challenge many moons ago , come on Patrik all the way son
Surely the hardest, as I don't think anyone ever got near to completing it? The club side is simple enough, but the national half of the challenge is a lot harder.

I did have that sign-up in there for a long time, but as there could only be 3 in each category, I reluctantly dropped it.

Very good idea to have this award ceremony here
But a few suggestions:
1. Rather than limiting the nominations, they should be open for all. With an extensive list possible for various users/challenges.
2. Rather than having voting public, it should be done in private; with one/two person counting all the votes and such.
Please feel free to disagree. But having said that, its a very important and good step forward!

There's a couple of strange ones in their tbh. Think it was all at Birdy123's discretion?
I just voted for yours Jimbo because I knew it'd get you goat.
Best Challenge Idea: dafuge's FM07 challenge
The original and best idea that spawned Gundo's challenge.
Most Interesting Challenge: Gundo's FM2007 Small club from a small nation European adventure challenge
Absolutely loved it this year and I enjoyed learning about the new rules and differt competitions that exist in N.Ireland
Most Difficult Challenge: dafuge's FM07 challenge
I've got a feeling that Gundo's challenge may win this one, but I must admit that with FM07 I found dafuge's challenge harder than Gundo's challenge,
Best Failed-Challenge: My big fat GK can score more than your big fat GK, (or can he)?
I'm going for this because I think it was a good challenge that I started too late. If I was meant to vote for a carp challenge then serves me right.

I feel embarrassed that my name was put up there and someone, (to name just one of many), like Gundo, weren't.
Anyway, it's irrelevant. There can be only one .

Not just for his own but he always seemed supportive to others when they were starting off.
Fan's Favourite's User: Lokedout420
I would have voted for dafuge because he is just so consistant and never seems to have an off day like the rest of us however I don't feel that Loked has received enough recognition as yet so Loked gets my vote .

Was going to suggest that as long as it wasn't at 20:00 on Wednesday then it would be fine... then I discovered that the England game has an early KO on Weds.

The hit challenge came back with a boom, masses of participators, and the challenge even has its own website, congratulations, dafuge on an excellent challenge.
Pleased with that, one moment of drunken inspiration a couple of years ago has turned into an institution on the SI forums. Something I never expected to happen.

Inspired by dafuge's challenge, Gundo has provided an adaptation on this that has provided enjoying games for all of its participants. Congratulations, Gundo.
Got to agree with that, my Kilmore Rec game was one of the most interesting games I've played on FM. A league I've never played in before plus all the problems involved in taking a small club to European glory. I've learnt a hell of a lot about the game through playing this challenge.

Ter brings back an old challenge that provided an almost impossible task inside. Congratulations to anyone that can complete this challenge, and to Ter for a well thought-out challenge.
Another great choice, this is a challenge I've never taken part in, but perhaps I will with FM08. The thought of succeeding with San Marino scares the hell out of me.

This award was an absolute walkover for Jimbo's well thought out challenge. Hopefully the success of this award will lead to him running the challenge next year as well.
I'd like to thank, my mum, my dad, my agent.... bla bla tears..... more tears..... not very funny gag.... more tears...... assault photographer....... roll out of taxi....... sleep fully clothed with face in fast food.
The challenge will be repeated if I can get even an inkling that GK's can be even vaguely prolific.

The "sign-up to end all sign-up's", this sign-up had a thread with many pages, and nothing I can say will do this sign-up justice, it was amazing. Congratulations, wisla_krakow.
Fantastic to win this award, great knowing that a sign-up which was created just before GQ disallowed any more sign-ups, had survived from then and into here and is still popular enough for people to vote for it .

I remember the birth of this idea, an MSN conversation many months ago, involving myself, wisla_krakow, and tilla. Excellent idea for a truely innovative sign-up, congratulations.
Really the main credit for this should go to Tilla, as he iirc came up with the idea of two teams, which we developed from there. It's unfortunate that he didn't have time to carry on running the sign-up with me, but I guess it turned out fine in the end as a concept .
Very pleased that a sign-up that was thought up several weeks before was allowed to develop, and we were able to be completely set-up before being ready to post. I'm guessing that's helped the sign-up win a great award .
This was one of the very few sign up threads I took part in, just a shame it only lasted just over one season. It was a decent idea that almost classed it as an AI experiment rather than a story thread.

Hom3r's sign-up was a great idea, and if it hadn't failed then I'm sure it would have been nominated and won 'Best Sign-Up Idea'. Hopefully Hom3r or even someone else will do a similar thing for FM08.

Wisla's First Ever Sign-up!!! (Leyendas)
Los Diarios de Mañana Banana FC *Sponsored by the conquest of Spain through sheer brute force* (Mañana Banana FC)
And the winner is... When Two Islands Go To War: Shetland vs Orkney (sign-up) (Shetland)
Once again, a close result that could have gone either way, but it is another award for Shetland, who seem to have won the public's heart.
Wow, was not expecting Shetland to win the award, imo Manana Banana and Leyendas seemed more popular. But I'm honoured by it's popularity nonetheless .
Thanks again for all the votes from you Shetland fans .
And now time for the real awards, the user awards.

Mr consistancy, (Loked), just keeps churning out top quality untra detailed sign-ups.
Very well deserved .
I suppose you must also mention everyone else who participated in a sign-up thread because it is certainly a community of it's own.
