You shoukld add some more categories, remember Oscar started out with few categories as well so you should be able to increase once time goes on.
"As the old saying goes...what was it again?"
What a great guy, donating his winnings to other artists like that. +100 respect for Adam Philips!
PS. Nice trophy by the way!

Was thinking that but it sounds negative... Like stuff that should be blammed.

The Grounders?
''And the winner of the Grounder award is...''
The Newgies, The Shermans, The Tankers, The Bronze Tanks, The Paper Shadows...
The list of possible names are endless...
The Tommies, The Fulp Awards, The 'Everything by Everyone' or 'EBE' Trophies, The 'Everything by Me' or 'EBM' Trophies, The 'Tanks R Us' Trophies, The NGs, The Portal Awards...
Blah, Blah, Blah...

I wants one.
It doesn't follow the proportions of the actual Newgrounds tank.
But if that actually is chocolate then it's worth it.
listen you unappreciative queer, we'd have a REALhard time matching a real world object to the actual logo.
and what the fuck does "too TANKLIKE" mean?
god dammit you'll say you like it and MEAN IT.

Do you know why most people will disagree? Because daily toons are consistently bad, pointless, and really just a waste of time. I'm predicting Luis will be getting that one, for his sketchbook tour and recent munny competition organization.
The Shermans is pretty good, but I think the name should be something that ties better into newgrounds...I have no clue what, but something...like the fulpies...haha

Hey faggot do you have any idea how much blood sweat and tears we all put into dt400? Especially f00d. After all that work it gets basicly ignored because of stupid pricks like you.
Unlimited poop or salad
O_O OOOO Shiny! Too bad I'm still not good enough in my music to have one. Someday.....
I had a random thought and I put "crusher" into an english to latin translator and it came out "frendo".
The trophy is amazing. It should be called the "Golden Cock Joke" award. I feel like this encompasses all of Newgrounds.
What about "the Newgrounder"?
I know you had a hard time finding the name, but only a few will get the reference...
Finding a great name which would include the 5 categories isn't easy at all, though.

I still think that The Grounder is better :D
What exactly is the leadership award for?
Leadership in general on NG? Pioneering flash? Audio? BBS posts?
Woo. I'd like one of those trophies . . . maybe it's time to start contributing some timeconsuming quality masterpieces soon . . .
I think the Tankies definitely is the best bet and there's not much else anyone can come up with. Luis for leadership award, Glorious morning for best song and why oh why is Adam Phillips such a cool guy?

You should make it so the same person can't win more than one to make it fair.

I believe the same person should win more than one as long that person deserves it, if the other dude doesn't win then it's tough but he/she can always try again next year.

Lol.

^^
this captain goes down with his ship
Ho.ly. Shit. You guys step your game up year after year. Seriously, after this post I'm going to drink some coffee, look at that awesome pic again and spit all over my screen because of the sheer awesomeness. I tip my hat to you, Mr. Fulp.
Although I'd love to seen an angry faic statue.
Time to pull some unimaginative names out of my ass! Yaayy!
The Grounds Gold awards? The....*sigh* tankies? >:(
How about calling them "The NewGroummys" ? :P
Some award names:
- Grounder's Pride (GP for short?)
- Territorial Awards (cuz we're all newgrounders, in tanks, conquering stuffs?)
- Ground Breaker Award (GBA, because you'd have to literally break something to make something good enough :3)
Think of some more when they come to me.
To answer your question concerning the audio awards.
The number of flashes that a song has been used in is not entirely a fair measure, but depending on how you look at the audio portal's function that is exactly what it should be.
For example, the audio portal was created first for royalty free music for flash artists to use, if the focus of the portal is still this *despite the fact it's evolved on it's own*, then yes, this is the fair thing to claim. However then you'll get artists no longer focusing on providing dynamic and exciting songs, but more simple and stale pieces useful as background sound. I believe the quality coming into the audio portal would suffer.
If you view the portal like I do, a place for full length tracks and audio artists to reach further every day, then it becomes a much more difficult task to undergo. How to find the one song that deserves such an award? There is no monthly voting system based for songs, and there are now over 10,000 songs submitted just this year, easily.
Without having monthly voting to let users nominate songs they feel are deserving, i'm afraid you can never really make a system most people would be satisfied with.
3 categories should be made into the big ones as well
The Big 3
"As the old saying goes...what was it again?"
Hmmm, my tablet is pretty old and has gone through a lot over the years, but I don't need a new one, that would just be horribly greedy. Tablets are awesome, giving these out is a brilliant idea. Turn our top submitters into even better artists, I LOVE IT. I'd say zekey horribly needs one but he recently got one, so he's set. Hmm...
...enough about tablets, those tank trophies are fucking hawt. I'd love to see one of those in my living room, but I know that will never happen... Trying to think of a good name right now but nothing good is hitting me, will report back later when something pops into my head. $500 a trophy... sheesh... well they look amazing, and an engraved plaque too... *drools*
Also, how nice of Adam to give away his prize money :) My respect for that man only continues to grow ^_^
