It's the holiday season! I'd like to start something new here, the "Solve/Cuber of the Year" contest. This contest will have a few categories which are listed below. Hopefully, this will settle once and for all what the most impressive solve(s) is, as well as showing who is the best cubing amongst us all.

These awards are chosen through nomination, then through a public poll. To nominate a person, please post the name of the person, along with their solve and time, and a link to a forum thread if applicable. Please do not nominate yourself; I feel that if your solve is good enough then somebody else will nominate it. Feel free to show your agreement with a nomination, being sure to quote the original post.

Nominations will run in this thread or by PM to myself until Saturday, December 28 11:59 PM EST (UTC-5, New York). A public poll will then be posted for everyone to vote on their opinion of the best of each category, which will run from Monday, December 30 to Sunday, January 12.


The categories are as follows - all of which must have been completed in 2013 ONLY, and are for all events unless specifically stated otherwise
Most impressive single solve (includes multi-bld solves)
Most impressive average
Most impressive solve(s) - single or average
Most impressive solve(s) - all individual events

Best fake solve(s)
Worst fake solve(s)

Best overall cuber
Best cuber in each event
Most improved cuber

Best/Most impressive competition
Biggest competition fail

Best walkthrough
Worst walkthrough

Best video description
----------
If you would like to see other categories added, please post or PM me.
Happy Holidays!

Personally, I would like to nominate Maskow for most impressive single. I believe that his 95/100 multi-bld in 6.5 hours is amazing. His solve can be found here.
This will be my only nomination. I believe the community can come up with the rest.

Most improved is definitely Kim Jokinen or me. I can't nominate myself soooo.. Anyway, He's provided a lot of my drive to get faster in my 11 months of cubing because he's always been just a touch faster than me.. Just enough that I feel the urge to catch up :)

Best Walkthrough should be Mats' where he's constantly saying "and I can skip the OLL," or possibly the cubing world 12 cubers, one scramble walkthrough video.
