FNORD Awards/2022

Hi everyone, this is Ryker, your unusual chairman for the Fnord Awards. We're about to begin the 2022 Fnord awards, for any work or event that occurred in the year of 2022. We'll announce the winners on Fnord Month (January of 2023), which in the calendar of Norton would be the 1716th year of the anniversary of the death of Emperor Norton. And let's give my predecessor, Ric, a big hand for hosting this little tradition so well in yearns past (and for all the work he did that I'm shamelessly copy/pasting)

Jury

PM Ryker for expressing interest! In the interest of fairness, diverse viewpoints, and bettering our ability to cover each submission, new judge applicants may not have served in the 2021 Fnord.

• Ryker is non-voting (unless tie-breaking) chair.
