Your guys' call. We've got plenty to do at BitTalk.TV to not worry about this, but if you think a "Most Promising of 2012" awards ceremony would be better, I'll reformat to that instead.
I think 2012 should be done in a year, and 2011 now. :p

This hack of a patch will add prevout to 'gettransaction', which you can lookup on Block Explorer even before your transaction confirms, to see your sending address.
I suggest people who can't figure this all out, post your transaction ID

I'll wait 2 weeks and if nothing happens from this, we'll scrap it and try a different approach that people might be interested in more. Thanks guys!

I think this whole concept needs a reboot. Since I didn't clear this with my colleagues and they seem to think there are both one too many awards efforts in the tiny community to matter, and that it doesn't actually support bitcoin or help bring anyone new into it, I think it might be better to reboot this as a "Most Promising for 2012" awards, or otherwise scrap it altogether.
I love sharing, I love giving away, and I love entertaining people. This entire thread is just the result of thinking we could do a better job but that might have been in vain since the interest from get involved in this kind of awards from most people might just not be there anymore.

Hopefully, I would win!

All fees collected less cost of Casascius coins will be donated to the highest voted Bitcoin Charity.
I'm slightly confused withe the rules/voting aspect, quoted above. Would you be so kind, Matthew, as to elaborate a tad more? And why the last line in 6pt font?
Overall, I look forward to your awards show. Can you give me an idea when you're planning on broadcasting this episode? I want to make sure my A, E, F, R and T keys are cleaned and readied for action.

Can we please get a category for "Best past SolidCoin troll" so I can win something too for once ?
?If that's what the community really wants, but something tells me that Best of 2011 is less about this forum and more about bitcoin. Who knows. I'm an open book.

Cool.
But if different people will say that they sent fee from the same address - how will you resolve this ?
By asking them for a private key of this address ?
I think that you should create an address for each nominee and just count the received TXes.
This won't be fair since anyone can send unlimited number of TXes, but at least more sane than wrong fee collection.

hmmm... if two people say they sent from the same address, first one that posted this address gets the votes.
problem solved?
