I hate the fact the emerald awards is more of a popularity contest. If I did finish off my 6 paged, hand drawn, digitally coloured comic with decent story to boot, I'd be dissapointed if I loose to a sprite comic made on MSPaint with crude story.

However I don't oppose that we should appreciate our members individually now and again with awards. Just if everyone is not accounted for then really it's just a popularity contest.

For example, the community should be able to nominate while mods pick out the nominated users for listing. When it comes to blogs and comics then individual blogs can be entered but the author of blog or comic can still be credited.

Not everyone can be a winner for the same things, but it will certainly widen the cause than just the same usual blokes who have cupboards full of the same rewards by now.
