TheSprout Awards 2013: Enter Now
TheSprout Awards 2013 is happening on Thursday 12th September 2013 in somewhereto_ re:store Cardiff, 11 High Street (the one at the castle-end of St. Mary's Street rather than the one in Llandaff).
TheSprout Awards are a celebration of everything that's happened since the last awards in March 2012 and a great excuse for a get together and a bit of a party.
We shall be holding meetings to plan the awards. These meetings will also be held in somewhereto_ re:store Cardiff on Thursdays 8th, 15th, 22nd August 2013 and Thursday 5th September (Thursday 29th August 2013 is the monthly Sprout Editorial Group Meeting). If you want to have your say on what's happening on the night, such as hosts, food, prizes, acts, dress code and so forth, then please come and join us at these meetings.
As you can tell things are a little bit up in the air (it's how we like it) but one thing we can start right here, right now is the nominations.
TheSprout Awards 2013 Categories
- Best Sprouter (Best overall contributor to TheSprout.co.uk since March 2012)
- Best Newcomer (Joined since the nominations closed for the last awards ceremony - i.e since 6th March 2012)
- Most Involved Sprouter (Who puts in the most leg work on TheSprout?)
- Most Useful Article (Local info or advice or something that changed your view on a subject... useful stuff!)
- Best Creative Article (Poem, short story, serial etc.)
- Most Controversial Article
- Best Review (Film, theatre, restaurant, music, game, sports, you know reviews of stuff)

As these are the 2013 Awards, anything published before Tuesday 6th March 2012 is ineligible (it should have been nominated for the 2012 Awards). There will also be other awards given out that don't need nominations or that are decided on the night, such as:
- Most Viewed
- Discussion Starter (most comments on an article)
- Best Impression
- 10 Second Film Competition
How To Nominate
If it’s a new piece of work that you've written then pop the category you want to enter it into at the top of your article when you submit it to TheSprout.co.uk in the usual manner.
For articles already up on the site or for user nominations you've got three options, either:
- Comment below with the link/URL to the article, the username and the category (if you're happy for people to know who or what you've nominated)
- Email the link/URL to the article, the username and the category to Sam@TheSprout.co.uk (if you want to keep it secret)
- Or tweet the link/URL to @FeedTheSprout using the hashtag #SproutAwards or #GwobrauSprout
You've got until Sunday 18th August 2013 to get your nominations in. You can nominate anything published on TheSprout since Tuesday 6th March 2012, you can nominate as many articles as you want in as many categories as you want. We'll then whittle them down to a shortlist and then we'll have a vote on the site to decide the winners.
If you've got any questions, then comment away below. And yes you can nominate yourself.

@SregorandRyler you can nominate yourself, if it's for something that has already been published on TheSprout then send me the link, if it's something new then submit it in the normal way and say what category you want to enter it at the top of the article.
Regards winning an award there is a vote but anyone can vote not just users registered TheSprout, so don't worry about not knowing anyone on here.
