Many suggestions for each category were emailed to us and the selection committee has determined the 3 finalists for each category. Between now and the awards party this Sunday, the jury will vote and winners will be determined. The winner in each category will be top secret until the envelope is opened, so make sure to show up to find out who the jury selects.
