Guys, I kindly ask you to refrain from making any posts / comments here excepting the nominations. Having the topic containing only posts with votes will help a lot at vote counting. Debates about the contest / rules / eligibility etc. can be held in the appropriate topic:
Besides, please make sure you read the rules.
alani123, I hope you realize that this vote will not be counted. Nominees should be mentioned based on their current activity, not the one from years back.
For the most part, this thread is for voting, to facilitate the counting of votes / the thread for discussion and agitation is here.
Besides, please make sure you read the rules.

alani123, I hope you realize that this vote will not be counted. Nominees should be mentioned based on their current activity, not the one from years back.
1. Votes for inactive users will not be taken into consideration anymore. The event is related to the activity made by users during current year and not for the past. As a consequence, votes for users like Satoshi, Lauda etc. (with all due respect for all good things they did in the past) will not be counted. Of course, this does not mean that a user's vote will be entirely not counted, if he nominates an inactive user. Only the vote for the inactive user is not counted.
As a sum-up: if a user makes nominations of both active users and inactive ones, only the mentions of inactive ones will be not counted (in the contest's final results there will be no Satoshi, no Lauda etc.).

- Event of the Year: Too many mixers getting seized this year... sheesh kebab.
- Fail of the Year: Mixers to be banned. Although not really a fail at all, but it "brought a lot of disappointment to the community. It is much more pleasant to remember pleasant events, but nevertheless, it will be useful for us to draw conclusions in order to avoid disappointments in the future." (per OP)

- Golden Feather: Mircea Popescu - Dude died swimming. R.I.P. Allegedly he was a bitcoin billionaire. I hope this was just a boating accident. Godspeed to his republic, if it still exists.
He had built a securities exchange almost purely based on bitcoin and cryptographic verification. It was so barebones that very few were able to actually use it. He would famously call those that didn't manage to use it idiots.
It's very hard to document his antics because he was ridiculously active online and apparently only a very small but nevertheless dedicated crowd seemed to have been following him around.
MPOE-PR was the account representing Mircea 's security exchange, MPEX. Now defunct.
Mircea sold these securities when BTC was worth peanuts. I can only assume that most people never cared enough to retrieve their bitcoins and that's how he ended up becoming a billionaire. But by the time these bitcoins had any actual value, there was no one left to generate demand for buying back said securities.
One of the securities was of a now also defunct new website, qntra.net. Another was of a bitcoin based economy MMORPG, Euloria I think.
In the end, we have no idea what happened to these coins to be honest.
MPOE-PR was a woman btw. Not sure what her relation with Mircea was. He would post pictures with naked women regularly though. He apparently was very much into BDSM and featured it prominently into his life, posting about it for the whole world to see. Maybe in one of these pictures it was her. Who knows...
Some of his blog posts remain up on trilema.com
Mircea was considered by many to have tainted bitcoin's early image because of some of these antics. No doubt he was a very eccentric dude.
Ms MPOE's still alive but I don't know if she still cares about bitcoin or this forum in general.
All that absolutely useless information is still stashed deep into my head, thanks for asking and thank me later for the TMI that you didn't exactly ask for.

And as for the voting goes, I'm just going to groan again this year and see if I can think of anyone who deserves these various titles. Can anyone convince me to care a little more this time around?

I chose the candidates on my own initiative and I think it's the right one to choose, but there is a possibility that we may change the list once we find a way forward.

Nice to see again this community awards. 
Trying my best to vote based on my own perception. Not sure whether this will be accurate enough but it is what I see during 2023.
I'm quite surprised to see the minimum earned merits to be allowed joining this vote. In my perspective, 50 earned merits is quite large number that not most members can earn it easily.
