Nominate: Buzz of the Year | People's Choice Buzz | Best Visual Buzz | Buzzie for Hive Post of the Year
Buzzies are awards for the year's best buzzes on D.Buzz
In brief: you nominate the best buzzes during 2020 and the best of the best get recognized with a Buzzie award. There's also one non-DBuzz Buzzie for a Hive post.
50 HIVE will be awarded thanks to @dbuzz.
I'll say up front this is nothing official with D.Buzz. It's just a community member doing a community thing. @dbuzz found out about this project and offered to support it with 50 HIVE as a prize. Thank you.
And I'll also add this up front...this is for the fun of it!
A lesson I've learned from decentralized cryptocurrencies is that there is no leader. When the Grin cryptocurrency came out, I was intrigued by it's Bitcoinesque ethos. One of their core principles is that if a community member wants to do something, you don't have to ask permission--there is no permission-head to ask. If you see something to work on, you work on it. Like a small seedling, that work will eventually be nurtured by the community and grow, or will be ignored and wither away.
So...
The #Buzzies!
Awesome content is created daily by the D.Buzz community. Let's recognize the awesomest of the awesome.
I tossed out the initial idea in a buzz on Dec. 21, then waited for the year to end. Now is go-time! :)

Rules & Details
- The buzz/post must be from 2020. Sorry, anyone new in January. We can always do this again next year if desired.
- Anyone can nominate. And, yes, you can nominate your own. Personally, I'd actually encourage you to do just that.
- You can nominate as many as you like for as many categories as you like.
- The Best Visual Buzz can have text or a caption, but it should be primarily an image-based buzz.
- Winners will be chosen by a select committee, except for one...
- The "People's Choice" winner will be elected via popular vote. Voters must have a Hive account in order to combat multiple voting. Not on Hive yet but want to vote? Consider using my referral link to get your free account here then vote away.
- The "Buzzie for Hive Post of the Year" originates from outside of D.Buzz, such as @peakd, @ecency, @threespeak, or from any Hive-based platform.
