So.. just for fun, staff came up with some end-of-year DP awards.

Hope you all take them in good spirit. If we missed anybody, we are very sorry! Believe us it was not intentional.

Feel free to copy the categories and vote for your own choices. Please try to keep it fun and kindly. We do not want to cause bad feelings.
