Below is a list which briefly summarises the award suggestions so far. Note that this is only for reference, and not an indication of the categories that we're choosing. Those haven't been decided yet, so don't assume that any or all of the items below are going to be included. If you've got other ideas, feel free to share them. I should probably remind everyone that we're not going to have a large number of awards, so long lists aren't going to cut it. Aim for (approximately) half a dozen.
