Awards

Maybe the Scratch Team could hand out awards for the best scratch projects, e.g 'The most original game', or 'The Best drawn Sprites'?

People could nominate the ones they think should win, but maybe that idea wouldn't work, as there might be a really good one, but nobody has seen it, so it doesn't win.  hmm

There are 0011 types of people, those that can count in binary and those that can't.

Re: Awards

Hmm this sort of related to a part on featured users read this:

I like this idea a lot Lanie. In fact we've been implementing something like what you describe. Here are some thoughts/questions:

1. Ability for people to give some kind of recognition to other people. Like "love it's" but for people. This would be mainly to recognize people how in different ways contribute a lot to the community. I participate sometimes in ubuntuforums.org and they have a mechanism for people to give "thank you's" to other people as a way to recognize them. Something like that could work here too but making it broader, like recognizing for helping others, for creating a new style of projects, etc... what categories should we have?

2.  Featuring new users to get them known for their work and that perhaps have created interesting things and have not been found.

For both of these features I do, However,  worry that people might get too obsessed with getting these badges or recognitions. How can we manage expectations in a healthy way?

Please continue this discussion, maybe we can come up with a mockup of how it would look like? Someone wants to create a Scratch project simulating the system?
