What a list, right? I’m deeply proud of everyone on here.
Now, I’m sure you can probably guess what’s next: the part where I ask for your help. If you could please take five minutes and vote for us, I’d sincerely appreciate it.
Unfortunately, you can only pick one nominee for each category, so I’m sure we’re going to split a few ballots.
