Welcome to the Nominations thread for the 9th annual /r/bluebirds End of Season Awards!

Those of you who have participated in these before will likely remember how this works, but for those who don't, here is an explanation. (Last year's thread for reference.)

Listed in the comments below you will find a number of parent comments for each of the different award categories. To make a nomination, simply reply to a parent comment with the name/moment/whatever else you want to see nominated.

Feel free to make as many nominations as you like in however many categories. Where possible, please try to avoid making repeat nominations in the same category. Hopefully all categories will be nicely filled out by next week but if some aren't I'll try my best to manually fill them out a bit before voting commences.

As a reminder, here are the awards with a brief description.

• Goal of the Season

• Best Game of the Season: Most exciting/impressive overall team performance, or most entertaining game
