Welcome to the 2nd annual FlatmattersOnline Year end awards, as we look forward to celebrating our 6th birthday tomorrow. It’s time to put your thinking hats on, search the site to see who had the best year in each of the categories. A few people asked last year, why so many categories? The reason is simple, purely to recognise more than one persons achievements throughout the year.

I have chosen to announce the awards a little later this year, to reflect the whole year more.
The top 5 nominees will be announced Sunday 4th January, with the winners announced the week after, Sunday 11th January. This gives people a full month, and more importantly based on feedback from last year, time after Christmas, rather than rushing between the festive period and New Years Eve like 2013.

Good luck to everyone, look out for some posts related to the awards throughout the next month and a huge thank you to Johann Chan for his amazing graphic design work once again!

Flatmatters!
