Call them Tankies.

They look amazing! I'm gonna start working on some movies so I could get one!

I was just thinking. Maybe you can have all of the categories you want, but just the five categories you mentioned get trophies. Maybe the winners in other categories can get a certificate of a plaque, or maybe an icon attached with their flash page that says they won a yearly award.

I feel that should be the way with all awards shows too. I think its lamesauce that someone can win a best picture Oscar (the most prestigious honor), yet someone can win the exact same trophy for something like best live action-short. It's like a reward for being half-assed.

I think this is an AWESOME idea.
Here's my pitch.

Well here's my first official forum post! WEWT!!!

That award is made of 100% awesomesauce! I like the "Tankies" name too.

Sweet :D

Great ideas I love that. Hopefully Tom sees your post.

Also, there should be a lifetime achievement award. There are a lot of great artists who aren't making videos anymore. It would be good to recognize them.

Cool idea, nice trophys though. But really, good idea, hopefully like you said will in the future give some imsperation to those artists who stopped and don't really see any point in animating. Well the point being win a bronze trophy. Hope to see the winners in January.

The Panzies!

I like that name its kind of funny sounds like you're calling everyone on NG a pansy though.

How about you call them blunt weapons.

I'm telling you, call them The Little Willies. :D

What does that have to do with anything?

Can it shoot marbles?

1) What should we call the trophy? The Tankies? The Shermans? Be creative...

The Newgrounds Award

2) Should the song of the year be required to be featured in a game or movie (like the Oscars)? This would encourage more collaboration on big projects.

Yeah...

Also when a game or a flash work gets this trophy...You'll need to put an Icon award on the submission pages like the Weekly Top, Daily Top, but it would be the Game of the Year of 2007 or something.

FYI 'Little Willie' was the tittle given to the first tank. So here's my three reasons for the name...
1. NG is a leader of its kind - 'Little Willie' was the first tank. Leader=First
2. The NG logo is a TANK - 'Little Willie' was a tank. Logo=tank, 'Little Willie'=Tank
3. NG is funny and serious, 'Little Willie' funny name with a serious punch.

i remember this website!

Maybe the Bangies!?

You should also have a couple of Hall of Fame inductees. You know for people that are awesome and have contributed a lot to the site... good or bad.

I still think Newbies is a good name for the trophy.

to give an award to someone that big in NG community would take a lot of fun out of it.

HEY WHY DONT WE GIVE THE AWARD TO TOM FULP HE LEADS NEWGROUDS AND IS REALLY GREAT

hey Owen wilson, why dont you finish the job.

wait a sec... excuse me if im wrong here, but this is completely uncalled for. gavin speaks his opinion and you directly insult him? where's the justice in this?

personally, i think he has a right to voice his opinion without getting shot down or made fun of by someone with as much power and popularity as yourself. i can understand taking your friend's defense, but to just gnash out your teeth at him is a real kick in the balls, especially when everyone takes your side and agrees with you here.

im not trying to suck his dick here either, im just saying, attacking your userbase isnt exactly the most professional way to handle things, even IF he's a star syndicate member and you dont like him

also i nominate f00d to win whatever trophy award prize thing as well

Uhh names is a hard one. The shermans sounds okay. What about 'the heavies?'.

Wow...those awards look like they are composed entirely of pure kickass.
Name, eh? How about...ah damn you, lack of creativity!

mmm, i'm gonna work my ass off next year to try and get no where near one of those!

1. Movie of the Year: Waterlollies, its better than alot of cartoons on TV
2. Game of the Year - Programming: Newgrounds Rumble
3. Game of the Year - Art: Newgrounds Rumble
4. Song of the Year (from Audio Portal): chaoz fantasy by paragon x9
5. Leadership Award: i dont get it.

I can't believe they're real and they weigh more than an emmy.

I fucking love you guys so much.

Leadership - Luis. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

leadership: luis

1) What should we call the trophy? The Tankies? The Shermans? Be creative...

Those are terrible names lets call em the Tank Dicks

2) Should the song of the year be required to be featured in a game or movie (like the Oscars)? This would encourage more collaboration on big projects.

No it should be based on the song alone. The award should encourage flash artists to use the particular audio artists work as well as other nominees.

hey tom...........hey tom.........weve known eachother since we were kids i am your best friend so why dont you give me that trophie and wacom
