Hi everyone, this is Ric, your usual chairman for the Fnord Awards. We're about to look for the 2020 Fnord awards, for any work or event that occurred in the year of 2020. As usual, we'll announce the winners on Fnord Day (January 8, 2020), which in the calendar of Norton would be the 1692nd year of the anniversary of the death of Emperor Norton.

=== List yer nominations here ===
I might reorganize them later... [[User:Ric|Ric]] ([[User talk:Ric|talk]]) 09:09, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
==== Best Revolutionary Concept:====
*Edgard for MicrasCast [[User:Rasmus|Rasmus]] ([[User talk:Rasmus|talk]]) 09:10, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
**Edgard for MicrasCast, seconded by [[User:Joe|Joe]] ([[User talk:Joe|talk]]) 10:28, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
**Thirded. [[User:Craitman|Craitman]] ([[User talk:Craitman|talk]]) 13:07, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
**<s>Fourthed. [[User:James E Wilary|James E Wilary]] ([[User talk:James E Wilary|talk]]) 11:42, 9 December 2020 (UTC)</s>
*Malliki for the [[Micras Organisation for Standardisation]] to finally make Micras less of a mess [[User:Nathan|Nathan]] ([[User talk:Nathan|talk]]) 03:22, 7 Dec 2020 (UTC)
*I hadn’t realized that the MOS was a recent project and the child of Malliki. I think the MOS is an excellent endeavor to combine the fleeting elements of Micras nations and to form them into one coherent world. I love how it’s going. At the same time, the MicrasCast podcast is simply delightful, and everyone else can already think of compliments for it. Thus, I propose to split the award to Milliki for ''' Revolutionary Concept - In Character''' and Edgard '''Revolutionary Concept - Meta.''' If this is rejected, I second the other two nominations made. [[User:James E Wilary|James E Wilary]] ([[User talk:James E Wilary|talk]]) 19:42, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
