The Mikey Awards

Just under a year ago I decided it was a good idea to have an awards show for my friends and the amazing things they do. A year ago I came to the conclusion it is nearly impossible to say because who is the best because everyone has a unique quality, but I think for the following categories I may be able say a definitive statement. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the 2007 SHAW AWARDS, more commonly known as The Mikey's:

So if you would like to vote, you may. If not, I will just arbitrarily decide which is the most significant. Please place all votes in the way of comments... You don't need to vote for every category, but it would be nice if you did. I suggest the copy and paste method.

Best wishes to the Nominees. Results will be tallied and totaled soon...
