Having actually played (and read) some pbp this year, I feel like I can vote!
This is a WIP...I'll fill in my nominations as things come to me. It may require some re-reading.

I was really proud of that post. I'm glad you liked it :)

It was just the most epic ending to the campaign. I sometimes find myself reading the last few posts, and every time I get to that part, I actually shout out "REMEMBER ARCHANGEL!" 8)

Looks like I need to do some reading...

You haven't read Cradle of Darkness? Do!
It suffers a bit from player rotation for a while, but once the troupe stabilizes (around when the were-jaguar joins, IIRC) it's epic! The ending is absolutely amazing!

Yeah, player rotation is a problem in all games I've read. Hell, I had to drop out for like 8 months, but I'm very glad I came back. Haru tells a hell of a story.
-
Wow. Thank you. Really, it does me some good to hear that. Thank you.
-
Indeed, I have to second bobjob. Cradle of Darkness was a hell of a read, and when Rising Tides came about I had to throw my hat in the ring because of it. And it's been a blast so far.

I wasn't really expecting a nomination. Thanks Haru. My game experienced some player attrition as well and we haven't gotten too far in to the thick of the plot.
If anyone ends up reading it, I'd recommend also reading the first story in Montreal Side-Quests: Enkido's Big Problem (http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,39116.msg1925142.html#msg1925142) because it leads in to the main story and gives a bit of background on one of the characters.

Does anyone know what happened to Undertown, Mij's game?
It's been a regular entry in these awards for the past few years, but I haven't seen any sign of it lately. Did it end?
-
They used to update their progress in a thread here in the main DFRPG section, but I haven't seen that thread in ages.

I haven't heard anything either.
Seeing as it seems like the nominations are more or less made by this point, we'll start voting a bit earlier, on June 21st.

Undertown is still going!
It is still Mij, myself, Synobal, Enjorous and Blackstaff (he hasn't been around the forum in ages though.)
We have most of the game sessions archived, as well as the San Francisco setting that everyone is free to DL- although there are many additions and updates to make since there's more game since the first edition!
We're playing Sun/Wed if possible.
And Mij, Mrs. Mij, Mystic, and myself all got to meet at the Skokie signing so it was very cool.
I's like to nominate Mij, as always, but it's not necessary. Let the more active/public games be at the top of the list.
We're more or a tortoise game rather than a hare, but if you'd like to see some of the game sessions here's the link to the archive:

and the game chat room:

And thanks for remembering. It's weird to think we've been going since 9/2010. It doesn't seem that long. :o 8)

I guess we should be voting, eh?
-
Yep. I need to read first, though.
