I meant LiquidOoze. Accidentally wrote Kirbyfemur since his name was directly above it, I blanked out and wrote his name instead...

Although Kirbyfemur did help a lot as well, so he certainly deserves a mention too!

Then to clear up:

- Put at least two people in the collabs award. You may include yourself.
- Try not to 'nominate' yourself for any of the other awards.
- Producer: makes the best sounding music, Composer: makes the best/most intriguing/most impressive music when the production aspect is disregarded completely.
