Award Winners 2020

[Mumbling]

With the conclusion of the appreciated member voting, the 2020 Forum Awards have officially come to an end. We would like to thank all of you who have participated in the awards and who have made the forum a better place with your presence.  We had more people participating than last year, so many thanks for casting your votes!

The winners are now authorized to pick the award banners from the draft thread and add it to their signatures and also as a post to this topic so that the runner up in each category knows when it is their turn to pick a banner. Runner ups may take their pick after the winners (runners up will need to pick a different draft from the winner but they do not need to mark their award in any way as a runner up).

And here are our winners:

Oh, and two more things before I go!

Thanks for all the votes for the helpful award, guys! I really appreciate it 

I'd like to pick the following banner for my signature:

[Sneak]

Congratulations, everyone! ^^

[Anagnos]

Congrats to all the winners and runner-ups!

Quite the interesting turnout this year, but it was pretty awesome that so many different people got at least one vote in the initial voting session. Great job everyone!

[OwlsCantRead]

Hm, I'd said last year that the votes were getting narrower as compared to the year before that, but even that didn't prepare me for this year's awards, which had many shakeups, entrants, and was overall a rather tense contest. In the wake of its conclusion, I give my congratulations to all the winners, runner-ups, and participants! A lot of close calls, and there might have been a record number of eligible members for Appreciated this year which shows the camaraderie of the GoF.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the votes! I actually didn't expect to be eligible for multiple categories, and will try to keep things up! I'd gladly opt for the Littlefoot banner for Friendly Member:


(will pick the runner-up banners after Hypno makes his choice!)

[ImpracticalDino]

Now that Owls has chosen his Friendly Member banner, this is my choice:

[Stardisk]

All winners, please accept my sincere congratulations   

[Flathead770]

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to everyone that voted for me for the fanart award! There was a lot more competition in this area this year and hopefully it will get even more active in the following years!

Now I can't be cruel and steal the rainbow face pick right out from RainbowFaceProtege, so instead I'll go for the one with the flathead in it 

[Sovereign]

Congratulations to all of the winners and runner-ups! You guys deserved your awards.

[rhombus]

Congratulations to all of the winners!  I would also like to thank everyone who cast votes on my behalf. 

I will go ahead and take this banner for the feedback award:



Though if you would prefer this banner, @Anagnos, I am also open to selecting a different one.  Just let me know if that is the case. 

[Anagnos]

@rhombus You're free to take that banner for yourself, Rhombus. I was always going to go for the Ducky one. Thanks for the offer, though. Once more, congrats to all the winners/runner-ups and special thank you for all the participants. Thanks to all of those who voted for me.

So, yeah. I'm going to take this banner for myself:

[StardustSoldier]

Thanks so much everyone.

I shall pick this for my banner:

[jassy]

Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me and congratulations to all the winners!

I’ll take this banner:

[RainbowFaceProtege]

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to everyone that voted for me for the fanart award! There was a lot more competition in this area this year and hopefully it will get even more active in the following years!

[Hypno]

I'm so sorry guys. It's been a chaotic couple of weeks here. At least this didn't take as long for me to get to as my welcome thread did (2 years...!). SO with that being said, I'd like to congratulate everyone on their awards!


Thank you to everyone who picked me to win the first ever edition of the LBT Discussion award. I can't thank you all enough.
I'd like to give a shoutout to Sovereign, who has been a big help with contacting members of the LBT franchise's productions since 2017, as well as Sneak, who has not stopped the search for the uncut Land Before Time since it began. There's also Disneysaurus, who is not a member of this forum, but has contributed a large amount in the search for the uncut version of The Land Before Time for at least six years now. I couldn't have done this without the help of all those who are interested in the production and deleted scenes of The Land Before Time, so thank you. Keep searching everyone

I'd like this one.

[OwlsCantRead]

Thanks! I'll pick the following banners for runner-ups:
