Fullness of the Faith sponsored the prizes for our winners this year. Please show your appreciation by visiting their online store and considering a purchase or two. Beyond showing support for this competition and those nominated, Fullness of the Faith also donates 10% of its profits to Orthodox Christian ministries that are meaningfully involved in missions and evangelism - a trifecta of getting faith-centered gear, helping out the Awards, and aiding the Church's evangelical efforts.

Voting is closed!
Today we will tabulate votes and confirm results. After they have been contacted, the winners will be announced. By popular demand the nominees will be posted shortly. Thanks to all the people who took the time to submit a nomination and the many hundreds of people who voted.
Also by popular demand the voting process will be changed to no longer rely solely on pure numbers. One idea being thrown about is a mix of popular input and a board of reviewers. If you have thoughts on how to better the awards please email us.
Thanks again for making this year's awards a success!

Voting is open!
Voting is now OPEN. Please take a few minutes to peruse the categories and give your opinion. Please email with any questions or concerns.
The Awards nominations are in!
The nominating phase has ended and the categories are ready. Voting will open up later today. As expected, the last week saw a drop-off in nominations, but with some fields already full to the brim the races should be quite competitive.
