Person of the Year plus Condemned of the Year

1/7 The “news” of Zelensky’s “Person of the year” award (Poty) triggered a raw-throated guffaw in many. Poty, instead of the mass-murdering, money-laundering creep he is … it’s in the same area as Kathleen Hobbs supervising and eventually certifying her own election by shutting out voters who were certain not to vote for her.

2/7 I wrote that just then because if you strongly disagree with what it says, its tone, then odds are you’ll not like my suggesting we run our own awards and see what happens.  I suggest we run Person of the Year but also its diametric opposite … Condemned of the Year … and not have it as any particular site’s awards but in general, across, say, our sites, Gab, Twitter, via email, however you like to send your entries.

It started last evening, suggested end date is next Tuesday evening. As some bunny will have to collate all votes, best we get some structure to it and thus I suggest:

3/7 Those you are nominating for the two awards

  1. In each case, nominate three people only, max, for each award.  
  2. It must be a person, a human who lived on earth in 2022, not an organisation nor group.
  3. It need not be three but no more than three, and in no particular order, seen as equally good or equally bad.
  4. You can nominate for one award but not the other, or both, or none, as is your wont.  
  5. You can change your entry any number of times up till the end.
  6. It finishes Tuesday evening, December 13th, results the following day.
4/7 Those nominating
  1. You do need one moniker only, real or invented, not changed thereafter.
  2. It can be family members but remember - each entrant must have a moniker, real or made up, voting only once.
5/7 Method
  1. I'll advertise it on Twitter, Gab, at sites I post at, you can too, wherever.
  2. They are not any site’s awards per se, just "the" awards. 
  3. Entries can be sent any which way - by comment at a site, then that blogger sends the numbers to me, or by friend, by email, telephone, skype, whatever.
  4. There's no list to choose from.
  5. I'll continue to advertise it until Tuesday evening.
  6. There'll be interim reports.
  7. Results will be just overall numbers, not anyone's moniker, next Wednesday.

6/7 Person of the Year

Any field of endeavour but please describe lesser known people and why you're nominating them, no need to do that with well known figures.

7/7 Condemned of the Year

What they're sentenced to need not be specified, just that they are condemned.  Feel free to say why though.

In both awards, although it concerns 2022, they may have been doing this a long while.

Any questions if unsure ... please ask. Entries close next Tuesday evening. END.

Comments need a moniker of your choosing before or after ... no moniker, not posted, sorry.
