Oh yeah, so excited for to this!
Is there anything like a "Best Project" category?
I'm thinking about bigger projects / collections, like Nate's atlas of Elyden, which are amazing as a whole, but maybe the single maps fly a bit under the radar because they are part of a bigger entity.
Onez: I like that idea, but I'm not sure how we'd implement it. Nate is really a one of a kind dedicated individual. I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head that's even in the same league as far as volume of work in the same project/setting is concerned. And he's always adding to it, so how would it work as a yearly nomination type thing?
I agree that there should be some kind of special recognition for people that are that brilliant and dedicated, but I think us CLs would need to discuss first if it would fall under the aegis of an existing award, like a Cartographers Choice or Honorable Contributor, etc.
How about best tutorial ?
After all where would we all be without one?
It's not a bad idea, but the truth is that we don't get many new tutorials these days. Probably a handful a year. Older tutorials wouldn't be eligible because they weren't created in 2018. We need each award to be open to a fairly wide range of artists, and I think this category is too narrow as it stands.
We'll certainly consider suggestions for next year but we're sorted for this year's categories, and I think Diamond will be opening the nominations threads later tonight, all going to plan. I hope you've got your nominations ready!
Good luck everyone.

I am going to start creating the nomination threads now; please note that they will be LOCKED until I finish posting all of them. Then I will open them, and you can post away.
PLEASE read the instructions carefully (they're the same for all nomination threads ).
