robert Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hey everyone, As promised, here are the nominations for the BEST of 2008! Voting will end on Jan 10, 2009. All the best to all of you who are nominated and thank you to those who nominated them. Remember, this isn't just who's the best or who we like the best or anything like that, but over two dozen individuals have been nominated for outstanding work in 2008 in either the Vegan Community or here on our community or a combination of both. To view the reasons WHY people were nominated please read here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=15971 The additional times someone was nominated doesn't mean a whole lot because some people when selecting individuals saw a name already nominated and omitted it from their list, but since it does show great appreciation, I kept it in for viewing. Again, this contest isn't to separate or divide the community but is an absolutely positive thing to recognize people and their actions that went above and beyond expectations to do great things for the world. I thank all of you! This is a list of the nominees with a + to represent additional times they were nominated. Please vote for just one person. We will award the top 3 finishers as a way to give back and say "thanks" for all that you do for the vegan community and for this community. I omitted all Admins from the voting. Here are the nominees listed in order of their nominations. If I missed anyone, let me know ASAP: Octopussoir ++++SeaSiren +JessiflyKatabaticVegan Essentials ++++++Hilary Wright ++RAINRA ++++DV +++veggieprincess ++++beforewisdom +++TroyXjohanx ++Lean and Green +++++Tuc +Tasha +++zinzen +Offense74 +Blabbate +sydneyveganGaiathendanisays +jaleelZackVegan JoeMedmanDr. Pink Again, please read WHY these people were nominated here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=15971 There were some truly outstanding moments, performances, contributions and memories of 2008. You should all be very proud of the great work you do here and around your community. Thank you for voting for the BEST of Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness 2008 !!!

Dr. Pink Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I've made up my mind. DV gets my vote. It was a hard decision but I think I picked the best candidate. She's just an amazingly brilliant woman with a seemingly endless encyclopedia-like knowledge of just about any subject you can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DV Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Well, if I could vote more than once (and remember who I voted for) then both you old guys would be in the running. However, Tasha is sweeter than all of us and is too far in the lead for anyone to catch her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuc Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 This is really hard for me since I just came here around new year 2008. I'll have to think about this before casting my vote since I'd like to vote for someone who has become something totally different on 2008, not someone who has been superb years before.

hsorlando Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I don't usually post who I vote for but I had to for this contest. I voted for Lean and Green. There were countless reasons why my vote went this way. He only joined last year, has been a wealth of knowledge,and inspiration for people on this board, and elsewhere I'm sure. He's also taken the vegan diet a step further by being raw, and despite what people may think about a raw diet he's damn strong, and from what I can tell has lot's of endurance too. Not to mention during vegan vacation he made some really awesome smoothies! These are off the top of my head, I can't think of anything else right now, but I'm sure there's more. For the record though everyone listed has stood out this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
