First of all, some of you may know that [YoYoSkills.com](http://YoYoSkills.com) did a People’s Choice Awards for three years (I believe), then redneckyoyoer3826 kept it alive on these forums. Now that they are both gone for the time being, I will get this going. These are the categories we will use and my votes: (If you don’t have a vote for the category, put N/A; you can edit as many times as you want) YoYo Country of the Year: USA YoYo Player Team of the Year: CLYW YoYo Company of the Year: YoyoFactory New YoYo Manufacturer of the Year: 2SickYoyos YoYo of the Year: Markmont.Classic YoYo Video: Arctic Circle 2 Freestyle (feat. Zach Gormley) YoYo Contest Freestyle of the Year: Hajime Miura 3A Final @ Worlds YoYo Contest Moment of the Year: When Vashek ended his 1A Final @ Worlds YoYo Player of the Year: Zach Gormley YoYo Rookie Player of the Year: Evan Gronberg Most Inspirational Player of the Year: Hajime Miura Go ahead and copy/paste these categories so you don’t have to write them all down. Results will be posted sometime in the first week of January. ---

YoYo Country of the Year: Czech Republic (EYYC and Worlds, they did an incredible job with both. Huge scene growing over there as well. Also, Vashek.) YoYo Player Team of the Year: CLYW YoYo Company of the Year: Onedrop New YoYo Manufacturer of the Year: 2SickYoyos (if it still counts as new) YoYo of the Year: - YoYo Video: Backspin/Piotrek Smietana - 10,000 Hours YoYo Contest Freestyle of the Year: Gentry 1A Worlds (This was a difficult one, however I had to give it to Gentry for the impact his freestyle made. The fact that it got so many views on youtube so fast and was even hitting the news in the USA surely makes it the most watched freestyle of the year. I felt it deserved the vote for this fact.) YoYo Contest Moment of the Year: Gentry winning Worlds YoYo Player of the Year: Takeshi Matsuura (1st in 5A, 2nd in 1A, 1st in Japan Nationals… what a year.) YoYo Rookie Player of the Year: - Most Inspirational Player of the Year: - I’ll come back and fill in the blanks once I’ve given it a little more thought. 🙂 ---
