I see posts like “favourite Bi-Metal”, “New Year resolutions” popping up and I thought it would be cool to have like our very own YYE 2019 Awards! Some awards for yoyos, some awards for individuals. **Yoyos :** - Favourite mono-metal of 2019 - Favourite bi-metal of 2019 - Favourite plastic of 2019 - Favourite 0A/responsive of 2019 - Favourite Titanium of 2019 **Industry :** - Favourite yoyo store of 2019 (For the purpose of this forum there is only 1 correct answer :joy:) - Favourite yoyo company of 2019 - Favourite industry person of 2019 (Be it a manufacturer, store keeper, influencer etc) - Favourite string company of 2019 **People :** - Favourite Forum Member and why (can be multiples, I will give examples using my answer) - Favourite yoyo competitor - Most inspirational yoyo related person in general - Super Rookie of 2019 (Most improved player) - Favourite person to watch for videos these are all the categories I can think of, let me know if you have good categories to add. ---

This would be cool to make as a yearly tradition! I don’t think it’d be too difficult to keep track of either. Like we can have people leave their individual responses in a dedicated thread with a deadline. Then once the deadline hits, we can count up all the replies to determine the results. ---
