A heartfelt thanks to all who participated in this year's inaugural competition. There were, of course, many many qualified candidates and only nine awards to go around. The true fun of this competition is in hearing the nice things members have to say about one another. Regardless of whether you won, lost, or weren't even in the competition, you are honored.

Thanks again, also, to the Jamie Awards Committee, whose hard work and preparation made all this possible.  They are Cei-U!, coke & comics, Hoosier X, Ish Kabbible, mrp, shaxper, and thwhtguardian.


The awards are in 900 x 200 pixel dimensions. In other words, they are the perfect size to be used as a banner image. And, in the case of members who won two, count em, TWO awards, yes, I will allow you to use both in your banner if you like. You've earned it


THE WINNERS:

The Professor X Award (Best Discussion Starter)
Icctrombone

"He's started a number of long running threads in both the classic comics section itself, as well as the off-topic forum, such as the Impossible and Goofy Covers, Classic Scans, Favorite Song, etc." -- Scott Harris


Best Contest/Game Thread
The Classic Cover Contest

"Best thread that I look forward to is the Classic Cover Contest. Love that thread and if it was the only one here, I would still be a member. It is a great way to see a bevy of covers in a wide variety of inventive topics/subjects." -- pinkfloydsound17


Brother Power the Geek Award (funniest member)
dan b.

"Well I think it only makes sense to nominate the guy whose off-beat humor was the source of this award's name. Between his strange obsessions with Brother Power the Geek #3 and Sgt. Fury Annual #4, as well as the hilarious presence of the Gang of 8, not to mention the humor that ensued each time he forgot which account he was logged on as, dan b. brought a tremendous amount of fun and laughter to our little community in its Year One. Stupid human. Now feed us." -- shaxper


Best Modern Comic Thread
The European Comics Thread

"I'd like to nominate DizzyD's thread on European Comics found here. while a few of the comics discussed are chronologically classic, most are modern comics and the thread has opened up a whole new world of possible reading for me and introduced me to series and creators I would never have discovered otherwise." -- mrp


The Krypto Award (friendliest member)
coldwater

"Here is a member who is genuine, open and honest, armed always with an encouraging word or self-deprecating slice of life to bolster and reassure others. Coldwater is a sensitive and caring soul, a great listener, and manages to shine even here, among such brilliance. " -- Phil Maurice


Best Non-Comics Thread
Meanwhile...

"it gives us a place to talk about what's happening in our lives outside of comics." -- Scott Harris


Uatu Award (most knowledgeable member)
Cei-U!

"Really...does this one need any explanation. Our own working comics historian." -- Slam_Bradley


Best Review Thread
The Annotated Savage Sword of Conan

"it is well written, show cogent analysis, is fairly objective, provides lots of samples of art and provokes a lot of conversation. There a lot of amazing review threads that deserve attention, and I'm sure a lot of them will get nominated; I wanted to make sure this one got some love." -- mrp


Captain Jim Zimmerman Award (Best Overall Member) 2015
Cei-U!

"To me the heart and soul of this community is the heart and soul of the last one. We all knew this crazy experiment was working when Classic Comics Christmas came long. He's treated us to Lash House and the Guide to Earth-2, and I suspect his very presence brought over several others. Wherever Kurt went, was a place people could be confident that Classics Community would go." -- coke & comics


Captain Jim Zimmerman Award (Best Overall Member) 2014
Captain Jim

"A great friend and leader who is sorely missed, but never forgotten" -- shaxper
