Nice my friend!
This means that, after all, the fun in organising went to more than offset the difficulties you encountered in the process. So it is nice to have you back next year!
Gazeta " Best plastic Bottled Win drinker"!

I would also like to express my gratitude to icopress, to sponsors, and to confirm that I received (very fast) the prize from ChipMixer! I would also like to thank to all which nominated me during the contest.

It was a great contest, which needed plenty of work. I felt joy participating, same as last year, but this year I also realized how difficult can be, in fact, to organize such a contest. And I saw only a part of it! This happened after icopress asked for my help in counting the votes and I did not hesitate even one second for ensuring him of my willing to help.

But only after that I realized how much time he invested last year, and this year too, for managing all the parts of the contest(s). Counting nominations seems an easy job and it is so, in a way, as it's not like dealing with rocket science. But it requires a huge amount of hours. So although it is not hard, you do not sweat by doing it, it really needs to have plenty of hours for writing down each voter; each nomination; then counting them; marking who is not eligible to vote; then, after a while, making a double-check; then, after finishing this, making a triple-check and so on.

While doing these chores I had a revelation and only then I understood how much dedication icorepss had for creating these two contests from scratch - talking to staff, talking to sponsors, talking to helping hands (if any), creating the topics (remember, there were 3 topics created for each contest - the one for nominations, the one for discussion and the one with the quiz), creating the templates for announcing the winners... Even writing these topics, formatting the text properly, finding the funny pictures (and many other similar activities) require a lot of time, hard work and passion!

I was thrilled by his request and, I hope, he was pleased by my work.

I know, there were many vocals about "that's not fair / the other thing is not fair" etc. but the truth is that nobody can anticipate everything. All he did was his own initiative, nobody asked icopress for doing these contests and, furthermore, he did not owe anything to anybody. He wanted to make an activity for joy and, in most parts, he managed to do it -- this is why I am congratulating him again! I also believe that most of the participants felt joy and fun during the contest and, seen as a whole, this initiative was a success!

Of course, minor errors existed but lessons were learned and I am sure that next contest will please even more users! I wish I could also give a hand of help, if it will be needed.

Excepting all these, I am congratulating all winners, all nominated users and all participants!

We have sent the award to the rest of the winners: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/f2fdfc0deb6dd9f65b701e011074690131d5b93f5af23ca694dbcb2a8d4320e4

Congratulations!

Wow! Congrats man for being one of the lucky ones in the dip! I know it's a stroke of luck but then not everyone gets that lucky. Enjoy the moment. One luv.

Congratulations to all 2021 awardees. You guys were all best in the categories you won. I think there should be consolation prices for those who come 2nd and 3rd in the next year's edition, instead of winner takes it all. I think that should be helpful as I've witnessed that some people got their votes scattered in different categories by voters and as a result couldn't amass total votes for any category. More so, I want to state here that I've maximum respect for the sponsors of this year's award, especially Bestchange. Kudos.

Theymos, I love your love for giving. Your insistence that your winnings should be sent to Razom is worthy of emulation. You've my respect.[/list]

Thanks!


Received & donated, thanks!

So,... ain't there something for high IQ nerds? 🤪

This would be a great idea and not only for Community Award winners, but for all other bitcointalk forum members.
I always prefer printing my own stuff locally if possible instead of ordering them abroad and waiting for delivery that many times have unexpected delays.
Let's get those sticker files released and ready for printing... I am especially interested in T-shirt designs.

If you have family or friends living outside of Russia, you can always have your prize package delivered to them. When the situation calms down, they can re-ship it to you or you pay them a visit and get it yourself. 

Congratulation to all the winners!

We have sent the prize: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/4e2b926c3c8728d13de20393885329fa71622a7cc129370fb59cda7c51ae8935

We are still waiting for a few winners to send us their wallets, and will dully send them their reward.

Yes, there should be a lot of different knick-knacks in gift tubes.

As for your personal situation, I think it will be very difficult for Cyrus to send you prizes. I will talk to him and clarify the details ... besides, if delivery to your country still fails, I can ask him for vector sketches and you can print these stickers anywhere in your city where mugs or t-shirts are printed.

I also quickly received a prize from ChipMixer, for which I am immensely grateful. And BestChange also sent a mail asking them to send them the wallet number.
My thanks.

Same, ChipMixer were very quick and I thank both them and you again @icopress

I confirm I've received the prize from ChipMixer 4 days ago

Update: I've received the prize from Best Change 1 minute ago

Update: I've received the prize from Sportsbet too

Friends, I can say without exaggeration that you are really cool guys, all of you, the core of the forum, which I first mentioned about two years ago. Special thanks to our sponsors and those who supported this event in every possible way, whether it was an unknown designer or a forum regular who helped with the counting of votes. Thank you for the heated discussions, as our life (including forum life) is partly made up of small dramas.

As far as I know, most of the winners have already received their prizes, and if not, this issue will be resolved as soon as possible. As for the collectibles, we need time... I'll remind Cyrus periodically, so expect a PM from him. In addition, free bets will be in your accounts tomorrow, so you can use them in the afternoon.

best regards
Mr. X

Hi All,

Congratulations to all nominees and winners.

It's great to see recognition, celebration, and positivity around the place!

Massive thanks again to ICOPRESS for organising this

On behalf of Sportsbet.io & myself, I can assure you we are not offended. We certainly respect your right to privacy.

For now, getting towards the pointy end of the EPL season and also a trip gone begging over the "Beers with Steve" Promo too.. this may have to carry over to the start of next EPL season. ( We will for sure honor the prizes in some way.)

Let me have a chat with the boss Joe to see what we can come up with and Ill get back to Icopress at a later date with potential work arounds.

Thanks all and regards,

Steve.
Sportsbet.io

So the three qualified winners in three categories actually turned down the chance to watch Southampton or Arsenal play, which would have been a dream tour for some users who have never been to the UK. At the very least, getting to see Arsenal get beaten at home in their next game would be a pleasure. Lol.  

What happens now that the three qualifying winners have declined for whatever reason, and the award cannot be converted to BTC? Is it possible for them to nominate someone to take their place? @icopress

Phew, i will have to be absolutely spot on to interprete your questions. No, the awards isn't for specific positions, anyone can be voted for, but in order to qualify to vote, you will have to have at least 50 merits, or be a full member and above.

The awards is open for absolutely any user, irrespective of local board/section. (I am guessing that is what you mean by "country community")

Not in every local board (i am still guessing that is what you mean by "community" here). Theymos chooses Merit Sources, and yes some MS in their application state their intention to be more active in giving out source merits in their local section, thus if such MS are accepted, they can be said to be dedicated MS for such local section, i see you are from Pakistan, so i will give you a related example: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5287171 i do not know if that user was later selected as a merit source in your local board. But overall it is up to users to apply if they want to be MS in their local community; and Theymos to decide. Here is how to apply:

I actually have a question Is the Awards are for specific Position as explained in Page 1.

Isn't it is possible for the Awards same for every Country community or some awards for community sebior members.

One more question as Repeat Posts are not allowed so Is there is Source merit in every Community or just in Particular Community. Thanks

Yeah, nominations could solve some of the problems with the format of the awards. Think that would be a decent idea, although the nominations should be open to everyone, same as the voting.

I don't take DdmrDdmr as the award receiving type, by that I mean a user that sought after recognition or awards. I'm sure they're quite aware of their recognition among the community, and hopefully that's rewarding enough, considering the results of the awards.

Congratulations to all the winners selected through this voting result. I was a little surprised by the result that there were 14 votes during the event for me in the discovery category of the year. I'm not sure if that's an honest voice or not, but I do appreciate them. Thank you for all, icopress, sponsors and anyone involved during this event.

I don't know if the person behind Plan B is here and it looks like he's watching me. Could it be that he was offended for nominating him as a "Fail of the year"? because I'm now blocked, LOL



It's even sadder because I wasn't even on the draw list.
By the way, Congrats to all the winners

Thank you Icopress for organising this contest, you are great.
80% of the people I voted are winners, I am happy I could make some cool voting judgements.
I'll keep projecting The Pharmacist and Fillippone for this contest if it's to be an annual contest and I know they will become winners soon because they were very close in this.

I have a concern.


DdmrDdmr for instance came 2nd, 3rd, 4th in many different positions. But sadly to me he didn't win. For him to pull high votes in different positions means he is versatile or good in many positions. His versatility became a disadvantage to him and his votes were scattered among different positions. This also happened to others like The Pharmacist, Fillippone and even Ratimov(he was lucky to emerge in SpamBuster because he did exceptionally well there).

To solve this problem I propose that in subsequent awards, it can be done in two phases(Nomination phase and voting phase) by this, the result of the nomination will guide voters to know the strengths of the participants and hence decide the appropriate positions to vote them.

Meanwhile, someone should give DdmrDdmr an award.

Thanks to Best_Change, ChipMixer, sporty and others who coloured this contest by sponsoring it.

Regards.
KingsDen!

Also from me congratulations to all the winners for every category and also to every other one that was nominated for the Awards.
Special Thanks to icopress and all the sponsors for the prices for running and starting the Community Awards and how you have handled this all.
Looking forward to the next and coming Awards when the time has come again for it.

People on the list are truly deserve to win, there efforts and contribution on this forum makes them became the most outstanding member here. This is a though user picking for almost all of community members since there are so many guys around who also do their best to make this forum a better place for us user and for newbies.

Congratulations to all of the winners and also for the sponsor of this event.

I must say, the level of transparency in this balloting system is like non other and if such transparency was applied to the voting systems of nations, we won't have had a reason to question the credibility of our leaders.

The event was a huge success as, votes were largely considered from only exposed and experienced individuals on the forum. The initiative is one that calls for not just active participation as both voters and users voted for but, for a more dutiful user and an awareness that all that is done on the forum is duly noted and as well, credited.

A big congrats to all the winners!

That's understandable and we can only respect the opinion. I wonder however, if theymos doesn't agree to this "deal", would you consider sending the amount to one of icopress addresses - assuming he accepts it? I'm sure that he'll know, better than anyone, where to channel/donate those funds to help his country...

Damn geopolitics. It's a nice twist 😉

We can suggest you create a separate wallet for us to transfer you the prize (otherwise, we can make it ourselves and give you a seed phrase, to save you the trouble). And you can dispose the prize as you wish.
Unfortunately, we cannot make a transfer to any charity this or that way connected with geopolitics.

Firstly, due to our neutral status, which would be broken by such a transfer. Secondly, due to law restrictions in the country where part of our staff lives, to avoid administrative and criminal liability for them.

Congratulations to all the winners, they are all worth deserving such an award to encourage them push further and in appreciation to their role and influence to the forum, and to all contestants, you've all as well proved yourselves capable and that you're almost there, also a big Well done with a clapping ovasion goes to the organizers of this great award winning program "Bitcointalk Community Award" as you've also done well in quality delivery.

I must confess to this that it really hurt me when i discovered am unable to meet up with the voting criteria for this noble award but am also excited at seeing the beautiful results coming as i expected and hopefully i see myself in the next coming award participating.

Congratulations to you all once again.

Your 5 mBTC ChipMixer prize donated to Razom: https://mempool.space/tx/99a36722e462396209b05afc8530d282359b73fd44df27fe8f577df053c1db36

Oh wow, I never really expected this, a really big surprise and an honour seeing my name in basket 1, i didn't write a speech, but will love to give special regards and appreciation to the organizers of Bitcointalk Community Awards and all those who made it a success. If feels good to be a part of this community and i must say that my every experience here is been greatly valued. Cheers to a stronger community

I know the commercialisation of Christmas has robbed it of much of its meaning, but you've really never considered a literal saint to be a religious figure?

While we're on the topic, why am I an angel? Is is because I'm a divine being whose true nature is so incomprehensible to mere mortals that they somehow remain confused about my gender even after beholding my loins?

I have no problems with that, honestly. I just don't really like football and don't ever watch it apart from Brazil's matches on the world cup, so it would really be a waste with me. I think I would probably accept it if it was a trip to watch a CS:GO major championship rather than a football match, for example.

First of all, I would like to thank icopress too for his effort to create this fun event from getting sponsors until promoting it in the entire of forum and other platforms as well. By this event, he creating a friendly environment in Bitcointalk so everyone knows and cares each other more, and it changes the image of Bitcointalk as a place that full of spammers completely.

In this moment, I thank you guys who not only voted for me, but also hired and referred my service. And of course I would like to thank Hhampuz as my long-time partner and friend, who puts trust on me to contribute in all of his projects. As a designer, it's my ambition to become the best designer at least on Bitcointalk by keep learning and create innovative designs. But for Craft Master nomination, I agree with majority that Hhampuz completely deserves the award because of his passionate works as a campaign manager and one of the most important people in Collectible subforum. As a partner, he mostly gives me freehand for every project we work but sometimes he brings up some fresh idea and constructive feedback that are very important for my service to grow and be more creative. I'm proud of you mate!

And congrats to other winners too as well. You deserve it obviously since I have seen most of your contributions for the forum since the first time I registered here until now. Keep it up guys! The forum would be nothing without you. And of course to the voters! The forum would be nothing without you too!

Again, thank you icopress! You are in my cool kids list

To anyone who follows the sport with passion the prize offered by Sportsbet - accommodation, booking - is marvelous. However, I think that everyone involved in it (from the sponsors and organizing committee of this contest ) understands the stance that some members took regarding their privacy and hold no grudge. It's not like the winners couldn't say that they didn't want to me nominated - I guess? - and considering we're in a forum of which a majority of users share a deep care for their private data, such reaction was to be expected. I guess we will never be able to please both sides - I'm sure that there would be winners who wouldn't mind to take the prize (either the one from Sportsbet or the goodies from the YT channel - but there would be others who wouldn't go along considering their stance on privacy.

Perhaps for the next edition we should increase our imagination a notch and try to come up with prizes that could satisfy both parties, besides the usual BTC prize? I know it's not an easy task, but something can be achieved I'm sure. I'm up for a session of brainstorming if someone is up for it!

You know why? The moderator is the scariest figure for spammers and anyone who breaks the rules and that's the most reasonable reason for me to guess why the organizers use that avatar for moderators.

But one avatar that is not neutral in my opinion is the Santa Claus avatar for the Craft Master winner. I think the competition should be fair to all religions and maintain neutrality because this forum is used by all religions, even atheists. I think it would be good to respect and honor adherents of other religions as well by not using certain figures from one religion or another for this kind of public competition. Do you think this opinion is too much?

Congratulations to the winners , and everyone else nominated. I think there was slight problems in the competitions format, which were discussed in depth in the discussion thread, however overall this competition is at the benefit of the community. Regardless, of what prizes are offered or if any at all, I'm hoping to see this as a yearly event for the foreseeable future, because I genuinely believe this could be a motivating factor for users to continue to contribute quality discussion to the forum, which will only better the experience for us all.

I do hope we can iron out some of the creases in the future, but as stated before, overall its not a huge problem with how things were handled this time. I didn't vote, although I did intend on voting this year, I just kept putting it off, and until it slipped my mind. I'll make sure to vote next time .

Also, on a side note; I've only just noticed, but why is the moderator avatar a ghost?

Privacy has been the reason for several winners to not receive the grand prize from this competition, which is unfortunate but also of course it is the choice of each winner to maintain their privacy properly. Congratulations to all the winners of this competition.

Not all winners will receive a prize for privacy reasons, but I'm sure they will be happy with the results of this vote and they should be proud of it. Are you going to celebrate a small party with your family this year?  

That's correct. I would have loved to accept the prize, but I'm not willing to lose my privacy to do so. As icopress explained above, icopress and Steve very kindly offered to send me the money to pay for my own travel to, and accommodation in, England, and to attend the stadium under a pseudonym, but this would obviously still have involved booking and flying under my real name (which therefore still puts my personal details at risk), and revealing my face, age, gender, ethnicity, accent, etc., to everyone involved in the tour and the rest of the prize. I hope Steve and the Sportsbet team don't take this personally after offering such a generous prize, but my stance regarding privacy and protecting my personal information is long standing and universal across all people and services.

I had other ideas on how to distribute the prize, but that's not a decision for me to make. The rules were clear before the competition started, and so the outcome is as icopress has stated above.

I wasn't nominated for any of the awards. Still I would love the opportunity to watch the game live if you will. And icopress agrees

If the prize would have been passed down the various categories and reached me, my choice of whom to give it to, would be fillippone. He got no prize again this time, while being an absolute legend - and he seems to me like a football fan (even though these teams are not italian ).

Girls! They do not exists 😉

If guys refuse, what can be expected from girls? Although I know football fans among my girlfriends, this love is clearly not mine. Therefore, I really want to give a chance to someone who really understands all the intricacies of football, and also dreams of getting to this very interesting match, which is associated with a great journey.
And also, I will immediately give away my prize, which may be a rarity for collectors. Good luck guys!

It did not surprise me that theymos declined any sorts of prizes. In fact from next time give him an award (honer) without even voting 😉
If I understand correctly o_e_l_e_o and TryNinja declined the tour sponsored from Sportsbet. I would do the same, in fact I was not in mood to accept the T-shirts (won twices) from them. Once I wanted to give it away and second time I did not even bother to write for it.

I think an alternative instead of the tour should be proposed next time. After all this is bitcoin forum and a lot of us will have problem with our identity which we do not want to make public even to the closest one we talk to.

Next time you make sure that no merit award to voting thread 😉. Good job you and GazetaBitcoin.

I would say no. They earned the honor but they are free to decline any prize/incentive for it.

Congratulations to all who legitimately earned the name! All of you are hero.

This is something I didn't see coming my way for basket 1 but huge thanks and shoutout to the organizers and all sponsors

(Sportsbet, ChipMixer and BestChange) involved in making the Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆 possible.

Hope to see more of these in the coming years. And congrats to all winners too.

Edit: March 28, 2022

Chip received thanks @ChipMixer and @icopress  

Unfortunately, the prize cannot be exchanged for bitcoins and will not change hands any further. Even before the start of the event, Sportsbet and I determined the three most significant nominations, and the prize should have gone to one of the winners.

It is unfortunate that all three refused, since in fact ordinary users like me will be left without the opportunity to watch the hypothetical booze on BitcointalkShow. Also, as I've already pointed out, it's unlikely that Steve would have sacrificed the winner's privacy (I'm pretty sure there's an option for the winner to handle the airfare and hotel bookings themselves) + he could come to the party under a pseudonym.

Thank you @icopress for putting this all together, as well as to the sponsors who were able to help you out with some added bonuses to get people more involved. I know it's never easy to run something like this when you care about it (which you obviously do), and as always you'll never be able to please everyone but all I can say is that you are doing an impeccable job and I can think of nobody else to do it as well, so thank you! Had I had more merits they'd all come your way.

To the people who voted for me - thank you all! I'm not entirely sure why you think I'm a master of any craft as you all blow me away time after time with your talents. I'm just a guy who got lucky to know someone who needed help running a campaign and then it snowballed from there. Either way, thank you and also a HUGE shoutout to my #2, the man who makes it all possible (seriously, I'd be lost without this guy), the best designer I know - jayce, this win is as much yours as it is mine!

Congratulations to the winners, thanks to everyone who took time out of their day to vote. This shows that our forum is still alive and kicking and in so many different sections who are able to exist independently from each other, it's very nice to see.

I didn’t get it? I mean what’s going on? So first of all we have the winners from Community Awards then this prize? So some one who’s declining to accept the prize doesn’t it mean declining the award too?

This is getting interesting: who's next in line? From [Voting 2021] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆:

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! I really wasn't expecting me to win, especially not with this amount of votes (131). Really heartwarming to know that many people though of me (of course being a Ninja helped a bit ).

I'm going to be honest and say I'm not a fan of football (even though I'm brazillian... yes I know). I even had to google what an "Arsenal" and "Southampton" match was (). I'll gladly pass the prize to someone who may enjoy this more than I'll do, if possible.

I also got a private message from @ChipMixer with my 5 mBTC voucher, so thank you for that as well sirs! And of course, thank you @icopress for taking the time and effort to organize such event every year.

edit: received the prize from BestChange and Sportsbot as well!

I have already sent him a message about this and I really hope that he will use his prize and have a great weekend with his wife! As I said earlier, two of our forum regulars were very pleased with the trip! In addition, the guys from BitcoinTalkShow offered to broadcast the upcoming party (with pixel faces, of course).


Congratulations, we have winners!  

- ChipMixer representative will contact you shortly
- To receive your free bet, send me a PM with your Sportsbet username / Information about free bets ➥ Note.

Winners from 1 basket

• Peanutswar
• Eternad
• khaled0111
• Woodie
• Rruchi man

Winners from 2 basket

• The0ldl_lser
• poldanmig
• aysg76
• GazetaBitcoin
• dataispower

Congratulations to all the winners, I can't wait for the next voting next year

congrats to theymos, you deserve it.

DONE..  I've done a DM to his twitter account lol

For #4 to win, the last two digits (ignoring letters) would have to be 04.

I guess that means the winners are Peanutswar, Eternad, khaled0111, Woodie, and Rruchi man from the first basket. And The0ldl_lser, Strongkored, bhooscream, Xxmodded, and dataispower from the second basket.

Btw, why did you highlight these the way you did:
Are the winners #4, #5, and #1 or #24, #55, and #31? I guess the latter would make more sense, because the last digit could be repeated and we could have a situation where #4, #5, and #1 would be chosen multiple times.

In that case, the winners of basket two are poldanmig, aysg76, GazetaBitcoin instead of Strongkored, bhooscream, and Xxmodded.

A strong Azzurri squad is synonymous with a strong Juventus. You can't have one without the other. No strong core of Italian Juve players = no fun. They say for a reason that Juventus is the only team that has won the World Cup twice.

the whole thing seems somehow familiar to me from the 'squadra azzurra'...
sorry f1 - but that had to come out. i hope you understand the humor  🍻

A hearty congratulations to all the winners - thoroughly deserved.
Congrats too to icopress - stay safe and well.
Let’s hope 2022 can bring us all more highs than lows

I didn't expect the results yet, so I was surprised when I came across this thread. I want to congratulate all the winners and I hope to see them around for years to come. Big thanks to the organizers and sponsors. It wasn't an easy feat considering everything that's happening in this sick and twisted world at the moment. But you made it happen nevertheless. Some changes will surely be made for next year, and hopefully it will become even better. 

Salute to icopress, GazetaBitcoin, the sponsors and of course the community. We don't do a lot of these awards, users don't always receive accolades for their efforts except for merits lol (could explain the self-praise threads). You guys made it something special. It really felt like a community award. I'm so glad I was a part of this year bitcointalk awards. Congratulations to the winners.
Happy Anniversary Lovemayfamilis

I would also like to thank everyone who voted for me. Thanks to the organizer icopress, as well as to all the sponsors, this contest turned out to be really fun.
I joined the forum exactly 4 years, this date becomes very happy for me.
Let the forum continue to be as friendly and clean.
Huge thanks to everyone.

Great contest managed by icopress and assisted by GazetaBitcoin.
Congrats to all winners, it's really deserved considering the broad participation of the Bitcointalk community and support by ChipMixer, Sportsbet and BestChange.

I hope we'll see a contest next year again, would be very nice! 

We left the year 2021 behind us, with the bitter and the sweet, the good and the bad. Congratulations to everyone who get good spot in bitcointalk's history. Let's what will happen next year

Can someone please call mister Elon Musk and tell him that he won the biggest fail of the year reward in bitcointalk forum?  
He was worse than NFT and all other failed events that was deserved, and maybe he creates account and post something.

I'm touched that so many people voted for me. There are many people who deserve to be called "heroes of good" more than me, but I will try to live up to it.

I decline any prize; if there is BTC allocated to me, please donate it to Razom.

Thanks to icopress for organizing this event, and congratulations to the winners!

Congratulations to the winners. All this would not have been possible without the dedication of  Icopress, even in war he didn’t abandon the awards. I also want to appreciate GazetaBitcoin for helping Icopress with the votes. There was a bit of controversy as every good show should lol. I look forward to next year’s community awards

Thank you icopress and Gazeta for running the competition again and congratulations to all the other winners.
Thank you to CryptioS, Sportsbet, ChipMixer, and BestChange for offering up such great prizes this year.

I will repeat what I said last year: I humbly accept the prize of Bitcoin Geek (for the second time), although it still feels somewhat strange to be voted above people like Greg Maxwell and Andrew Chow, who are obviously far more knowledge about bitcoin than I am, not to mention all the other Dev and Tech regulars such as pooya87, ETFbitcoin, HCP, nc50lc, mocacinno, and more.

As I've already discussed privately with icopress, I am honored to win, and extremely grateful for the very generous offer from icopress and from Sportsbet. I would love to be able to accept, but unfortunately my well known position regarding privacy and my personal information prevents me from doing so since I would be required to dox myself to be able to accept. As I understand, TryNinja is next in line, so here's hoping that he will be able to accept this great prize!

Also, looks like we are just about to start drawing the winners for the first lottery basket!

To all the winners and all the members who were nominated ^{(who were selected but had a small number of votes)}, i congratulate you for your great contribution to our beloved forum, you deserve that appreciation.  @icopress, thank you for making a vote like that!

Congratulations to the winners! Absolutely deserved choice!
And of course a big thank you to the team around @icopress who organized this great event. Events like this bring a lot of life to the forum and despite some difficulties it was managed very well. Keep up the good work!

And good luck for the lottery @everyone. Sweet rewards are waiting for some of us. 

I would also like to extend my congratulations to all the winners and a sincere thank you to icopress for putting this all together. Really great work, even in such difficult times. Hopefully next year everything will be better and the competition will continue to evolve.

Looks so cool to you, I'll have to see it a whole year in your private text before next year's voting results are announced. 

A little comment about the voting results for whoever voted for me. Actually I'd rather be voted a spambuster than the Discovery of the year. It's much more worthy of my efforts as a spambuster so far [even though spammers hate me so much], but it's a voter's right even though I really didn't ask for it. Thanks to those who voted for me, at least I know that some people are watching me too. Congratulations to all the winners.

Congratulations to all the winners and to icopress for managing this community awards in such difficult conditions for him.
I am not surprised with the names I see on that list and I am very happy for n0nce who won Discovery of the Year reward, he truly deserved it.
Good luck to everyone with lottery tickets, and thanks again to all the sponsors who supported this all the way

First of all the biggest 'congratulations' and thank you should go to icopress for the success of yet another Bitcointalk community awards, thank you GazetaBitcoin as well for your assistance in the success of all of this, i am pretty sure it wasn't easy as i know we all have busy schedules in real life, so to make out time to ensure this was a success basically means you love Bitcointalk and that is indeed appreciated by me and other users as well i am sure.

Congratulations to all of the winners, i do not take this to be just a mere voting, but a valuable recognition in the midst of many in the forum, without the participants and their votes this would not be possible too, so thank you to all who participated in one way or another, and i hope we have many more reasons to unite as a community and have 'fun' such as this and in other ways possible going forward, thank you all once again.

I don't need to say much about how this whole voting process went, but I'm really excited to congratulate all the candidates who won this event. I really hope not to miss getting into this annual party next year.

Kudos everyone.

Congratulations to the winners of this nomination because you are all amazing and deserved, forum users voted for you the most and that's because of your awesomeness and the best.

n0nce as the winner of this year's Discovery congrats bro.

Am here to say a big congratulations to the winners of this award, its   a well deserved victory and am sincerely happy❤️ for you all, you guys individually are an inspiration and motivator to several of us on this forum.
And a special thank you to the organizers of this community award, it brought a great life to the forum and I hope for more of this in the future, you guys also deserve awards for this so congratulations too.

Congratulations once again to you all, do have a pleasant 2022.

I never thought that foxpup is a gurl or she was just received a troll votes for this competition. Either way you guys deserves the reward as you give a lot of efforts on maintaining the forum informative and clean. My vote for Ratimov and Lovesmayfamilis paid off.  Thank you Icopress and Gazetabitcoin for facilitating this very cool event!

I really feel that I will win on this raffle.  

Congratulations to the winners and for everyone that ended up in the runner up list! For the winners I assume that it's a great feeling of being recognized by the community within the winners category - do wear the title with proud! My biggest "thank you" goes for the tremendous effort done by icopress and GazetaBitcoin regarding setting up the contest, counting the votes and publishing the results in a proper way, especially considering the current state of affairs that the world has gotten into.

It's great to see the community being aligned with such activities, here's hoping next year we'll be able to introduce more fresh "blood" into the mixture! I know that it partially doesn't depend on us, but if we reach the right and motivated people I'm sure they'll eventually come by our forum in a more permanent way.

Don't put the pressure on yourself fillippone, there's no shame in not winning anything. I think I can safely say that you're probably one of the most recognized users around here, no one can take that from you. Just keep being you - which is something that nowadays is rare - and I'm sure you'll get there eventually 

@BtcTalkShow : Newly arrived to the forum and already with a big prize - indirectly - in your hands hein? I'm sure you'll make good use of it, looking forward for your report of this event on your channel

Thank you for all the voters, who made this competition bigger and more fun.
Big kudos to the organiser, @Icopress, who managed to take this task to completion in such a difficult times for him.
Thanks to @GazetaBitcoin, who joined as “little helper”.
Also thanks to all the sponsors, who added a little incentive in the competition.

Regarding myself, second year in a row without winning anything. Last year I was close to the top, this year I was nowhere close to getting a prize. Shame on me, I need to work more for the “bitcoin geek” category (the category where my results where less awful.

Hopefully next year the competition will be bigger, funnier and louder!
Icopress, you get to be ready!

Big congratulations to the winners of this year's competition, perfection doesn't happen in a day. With time I believe similar competition will be less controversial and have more participation from forum members. I was surprised similar controversy araise again this year but hopefully the next won't have them again, we should learn from mistakes. I was in the forefront of the previous controversy and wasn't proud of the assumptions it lead to as they were never the intention, stayed away from repeating similar mistakes and this year atleast we can boldly say the winners do deserve the awards due to their contributions to the continuity of the forum.
 
Less hate more love, kudos to the organizers, sponsors and participatnts. Hopefully this becomes a tradition we keep yearly on the forum. Congratulations Hhampuz, and thanks to those that voted for me.in that particular category, I appreciate you all verbally just as I should have done before.

User who are the largest amount of votes and recognize as the best of their category are very suitable cause they are doing a lot of good things to make this forum still beautiful as Satoshi made.
Scambuster and spambusters see helping also to clean this forum for the shitposter and the people choice is good Ratimov and lovesmyfamilis are deserve to his awards a happy congratulations from me.

Thanks to all those votes in the 'Discovery of the year' category. It's a big honour for me, especially since I only joined in the last 3 months of 2021! I really appreciate the positive feedback that I get around here, the great discussions, great people, and of course lots of knowledge that is shared for free.

Of course thank you also to icopress, GazetaBitcoin and all of the sponsors.

Congratulations to all the different categories' winners!

Edit:
ChipMixer was really fast to send a 5mBTC voucher; thanks a lot again, really generous!
BestChange sent awards today! Thanks so much for 5mBTC.
Sportsbet Steve sent it just an hour after sending the address, thank you guys!

Finally, congratulations to the winners! Well deserved IMHO.
And big thank you for those who voted for me even when I wasn't active mutch during the last year.
