[Patrick]

Hello,

Welcome to the voting period for the 23rd annual KarateForums.com Awards!

Through these awards, we recognize just a few of the individuals who have made outstanding contributions to KarateForums.com in the past year.

You submitted your nominations and, from those, we have our KarateForums.com Awards 2024 nominees. In all, 10 different members have been nominated in the various categories that make up this year's awards. They are @DarthPenguin, @Zaine, @bushido_man96, @Nidan Melbourne, @Wastelander, @aurik, @KarateKen, @Spartacus Maximus, @Montana, and @sensei8!

aurik, Zaine, DarthPenguin, and bushido_man96 were nominated in 3 categories, the most of any member, followed by KarateKen with 2. Our historical award numbers have been updated and new milestones have been reached!

Congratulations to bushido_man96 on being the first member to reach 65 nominations (most all-time), Zaine and aurik on hitting 10 (now with 12, T8th all-time and 11, T10th all-time, respectively), and DarthPenguin on reaching 5 (now with 6, T18th all-time)!
