Every vote was checked to ensure it complied with the "One person, one vote" program rule. We value the integrity of this awards program, and every year many ballots are disqualified for breaking this rule. This is a very time-consuming effort, and a lot of thanks and appreciation goes to out Mark Watanabe (YakSushi) for all his hard work.

Congratulations to the winners and all the nominees! We look forward to 2017. Like (or dislike) the results? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
