Seven of the Pastapadre Community Award categories are currently live to vote on – you’ll find links paired with the videos included in this post. With all those in mind Rich Grisham and I got together to reflect on them. We discuss the decision making that went into choosing the nominees, the ones we personally favor, and what is most likely to win.
The upcoming categories – which include Best New Feature, Best New/Non-Yearly Sports Game, and Sports Game of the Year – will be accompanied by their respective video segments when their polls open. Results to be announced on January 9.
