Just wondering whatever happened to these annual awards as I haven't seen them mentioned since 2013.
 
Yeah I spotted some mention of annual award winners somewhere on the site and wondered if it was still a thing. I think we can safely assume Adywan is a surefire winner for last year.
 
Believe it or not, we've been discussing this recently.

Will share if there is news to share.
 
An excellent question...
 
Well they do say that no news is good news, so let's say everything is well behind the FE.org curtain
 
Q: What ever happened to the Annual Awards?

A: Jack and Jill Extended Edition killed it.

Why Neglify did you create the greatest fanedit of all time? Everything that anyone will ever make will pale in comparison to Adam Sandler in drag.

They're back, baby! Please vote on 2014-2017 in the meantime!

Now that a few years have passed since your beautiful edit, I think it's safe to resurrect the awards.

Now that we know the answer to this, it's time for the more important question:
Whatever happened to Robot Jones?
 
Wonderful! Many of these edits are worthy of an award, and at the least an honorable mention. And FE is worthy of an annual ceremony, to celebrate the best edits and to reaffirm our sense of community.

I look forward to see the various categories for 2018. E.g. across the years we might have @"Sinbad" 's Back to the Future TV series (most impressive change in a narrative structure), @"rb" ' s Pruned GOTG2 (best improvement through a, seemingly, light edit), @"ssj" 's Godsmacked (groundbreaking change of the narrative), @"Rogue-theX" ' s Dredd (outstanding short), @"slark" 's Doc Savage (superlative labor-of-love). And many, many others!
 
Which edits are eligible to be voted on? Just the ones that won FEOTM?

For overall Best Edit, it makes sense to only allow the FEOTM ones.
For specialized categories, I'd suggest all edits are eligible. Plenty of edits aren't popular enough to get the exposure needed to win FEOTM, but within their niches they are totally awesome.
 
For 2014-2017, we just took the FEOTM winners and runners up so there are 24 options. It's a lot to choose from but it made sense since we're picking years later. For 2018, we'll be putting those polls together after the year ends. Standard categories are best TV to movie edit, best extended edition, best fanedit by a new editor, faneditor of the year and fanedit of the year. There will be 4 or 5 choices for most categories, though it is looking like there will be more choices for best new editor and definitely fanedit of the year. All edits are eligible though we started out looking at FEOTM voting and IFDB reviews. Then we expanded it out a bit for categories as needed in order to get a pool of 4 or 5 options. FEOTY will be the 8ish or so top vote getters for the year.
