FNORD Awards/2021

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 2021. As usual, we'll announce the winners on Fnord Day (January 8, 2022), which in the calendar of Norton would be the 1704th year of the anniversary of the death of Emperor Norton. Ric (talk) 15:49, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

New and unique for this year's events, is that we'll announce it all as part of the Expo 1703 closing ceremonies! So exciting! Ric (talk) 15:49, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
