Welcome to the 11th edition of the User Choice Awards. Founded and started by in 2009 the event quickly gained fame. The edition from 2010 was hosted by with some assistance from . In 2011 and 2012 took care in organizing the event. In the years 2013 and 2014, , hosted the event. In 2015 and in 2016 took care of the UCA. The previous two editions were hosted by in 2017 and last year. Another year has already passed and I bring you now the UCA, 2019 edition.

The first step of this project is the nomination phase. Every one of you will be able to select a few users in each category. In the second half of january, you will then have the opportunity to select a single user among the most nominated ones.

Please remember that these awards are about the year 2019 only!

For the nomination phase, we'll be handling these rules:
o Voting for yourself is completely forbidden.
o You may vote several times for the same user.
o For each category, you can select up to 3 users. You can of course select less or even skip some categories.
o Every vote that does not match the category definition will be ignored so please read carefully.

* If you do have doubts about a certain category, a definition or a rule, do not hesitate to ask. You can do so by posting in this topic.

How to nominate people:
You'll see a list below with all the categories. Make sure to read the definitions carefully and copy the list that you find in the 3rd post. Paste that list in a PM, fill in your nominees and send it to . If everything is done, name your PM "xx - UCA nominations" whereas 'xx' is your own name. You can edit your PM to change your votes but make sure yo do PM me again or I'll likely miss your edit and only take your previous votes into account.

Deadline:
The deadline is set to Saturday, 18th of January 2020. Afterwards we will start the final voting phase.

Feel free to refresh my mind, I sadly can't think of anyone...

I gave it some thought before putting this category back and found 6-7 potential names, which isn't a lot but many other categories don't have many potential winners either so I thought it was fine. I don't want to straight up write names in here tho, either way you'll see them in the second phase

alright, good to hear you put thought into it.^^ I'll see them in the next phase

category best lol track of the year

3 days left to send in your names I recevied several PMs already, and all categories already have many names (including some I hadn't thought of which was great to see).

Also please avoid submitting invalid names, removing those takes time, like I know x builder is great but he hasn't built any tech tracks this year so he can't be the best tech builder (just an example)

Thanks for hosting this year Switch
