There are going to be a lot of "Best of" lists popping up in the next few days, and in my experience, most of them are pretty worthless. But that doesn't mean that compiling a few lists isn't a good idea, if they're done right.
They can also be a lot of fun, and a good way to look back at the year.
That's why I'm excited to introduce the inagural Fort Wayne Observed "Best of 2005" Awards.
Each day this week, I'll be introducing a new category, and asking you to submit your nominations.
You can nominate someone by leaving a comment on that particular post, or by sending me an email. I'll choose the top five nominations (so you might want to lobby for your submission in your nomination) and then we'll have a blog poll (!) to let you vote for the best choice among the top five nominees.
I'll also pick my own winner in each category and provide an explanation for my choice.
Our first category is Media Personality of the Year. Anyone who appears on TV, radio or in print is eligible. I'm not looking for the person you like the best or think does the best job -- I'm looking for the one who was the most fascinating media personality of 2005 -- the person who mattered most, that stood out or did something out of the ordinary.
Send your nominations via email or leave them as a comment on this post.
