Bitcointalk Community Awards is a great opportunity for us to express our appreciation to those special people who are doing their best for their community, for all the good deeds, and for the impact they have on the forum. Despite the fact that now 2022 is in full swing, this does not prevent us from taking stock of the past, so if you know a user who deserves an award in one of the categories, feel free to nominate them. 🏆

       What prizes await the winners?

We believe that public recognition is the most prestigious award, however, our sponsors in the person of Sportsbet & [C]ryptioS / ChipMixer / BestChange made sure that the winners really feel their importance. Please note that BCA 2021 is not an official event and is run under the auspices of the community.

	Each winner will receive an exclusive collectible / Cyrus and the guys from Cryptios took it upon themselves to offer each winner a personalized gift that should pack quite a few interesting and unique items, (photographs are on their way) ➥ Note.
	All winners will share the prize pool of 50 mBTC and free bets will be drawn between the voters. Moreover, this year the main prize will be a VIP tour for two, to an Arsenal or Southampton match, including a corporate box, accommodation and flights ➥ Note.
	ChipMixer also kindly agreed to become part of the sponsoring team and provided an additional prize pool of 70 mBTC, so each winner will receive a 5 mBTC voucher, and between the voters, 10 vouchers of 2 mBTC each will be randomly drawn. ➥ Note.
	BestChange has been supporting public initiatives for several years, so this time it did not stand aside by becoming part of the sponsors team and provided a prize fund of 50 mBTC, so in addition to the announced prizes, each winner will receive an additional 5 mBTC!

       How it works?

From the moment of publication and until the end of Feb (+2W), a public vote will be open, in which any active user can take part. Any user has the right to campaign for or against other candidates in a separate thread specially created for this. Who will be among the top three winners in each respective category depends only on your activity, (we will be using the IRV voting system). For the voting system to work, any nominated candidate must have the support of at least three users, (candidates with the least number of votes will be eliminated). When the timer reaches zero, we will block this thread, and sum up.

• Up to 3 users you can vote in each category ➥ Note.
• You can edit your application until the thread is locked ➥ Note.
• You must have 50 merit or be a full member or higher to vote ➥ Note.

	Custom title	Description of the Nomination
	Absolute Hero of Good	The award is given to the informal leader, [the presence of a cult is encouraged]. This outstanding man has devoted many years to serving the community and has left an indelible legacy by doing community service without regard for personal gain / the winner in this nomination will be the main prize.
	Golden Feather	The award is presented to the participant whose name symbolizes trust and wisdom. Note: There have always been users on the forum who stand out from the crowd in writing style and objectivity, those whose posts are always pleasant to read, and discussions with them bring satisfaction.
	Bitcointalk Ninja	The award is given for exceptional contribution to the development of Bitcointalk! A person whose activities are extremely useful for the bitcointalk community, or someone without whom you cannot imagine a forum. In this category, the truly creative people are judged, and now it's time to determine the best!
	Bitcoin Geek	The award is given to the participant who you felt was the most helpful in the Bitcoin-related areas. Tell us which of your acquaintances is passionate about bitcoin to the extreme, who can easily explain to you such nuances that you did not even know about or who simply chose a ASIC for your grandmother.
	Event of the Year	What event had the biggest impact on you? This nomination is a tribute to the most notable events in the crypto community or the most significant for you personally. This is the second annual award, you can only nominate and vote for all significant events of 2021.
	Fail of the Year	The most promising event, which 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. What was the most difficult thing for you to come to terms with?
	Discovery of the Year	Perhaps one of the most unexpected but at the same time iconic categories, which shows that the forum is alive. The award is presented not only to novice bitcoiners, but also to other users who have been actively participating in the life of the forum over the past year ... heck, you can even nominate your best bitcointalk friend!
	SpamBuster	The award is given to a volunteer user for their invaluable contribution to maintaining order on the forum. We tend to think that this award is best suited to the most important figure among reporters or who contributes in every possible way to the suppression of fake activity in the threads, (check out these threads for more [1] [2] [3]).
	ScamBuster	The award is given to an outstanding volunteer working exclusively for the benefit of the community. He adheres to a fairly strong moral codex, is a role model and consistently demonstrates an inexhaustible enthusiasm for identifying abusers on Bitcointalk, (in these sections [1] [2] you can get to know such users personally).
	Craft Master	The award is presented to those who sincerely love their craft, whether it is a professional activity or a hobby. We tend to think that this award is best suited to the most significant figure among collectors, managers, escrows, designer or users who are so passionate about sports and p2p that they motivate others to bets solely in BTC.
	Antihero	He never wanted to be a villain, but he had to accept the rules of the game in which he �plays black�. Remember that even evil has its own principles, so such a person is capable of anything, even if it does not benefit him. Therefore, sometimes you even want to hug him and cry, Well ... or kill him first, and then "hug and cry".
	Miss Bitcointalk	Although girls are now in the minority on Bitcointalk, 4.6 to 1, they are still wonderful, interesting and important to us. I understand that choosing three winners from among all our beautiful girls is problematic, but still we will try. Who do you think especially deserves to be Miss Bitcointalk?
	Best Forum Moderator	The award is given for the support and development of the global or local sections of the forum. We fear and respect them, they are harsh, but fair ... The moderator is always polite and answers your questions? Give him a voice! Is another moderator helping with a technical issue? He deserves your vote too!
