The JoeCustoms.com Year End Achievement Awards (aka the JCAs) are an annual event initiated by Grand Slam to recognize outstanding achievement at the end of the year for both customs and dios. Each year we vote on our community's best work to give the cream of the crop their proper recognition. These awards also serve as a year in review for the site in general and help to remind us of the fun that we've had together for the past year.

It's time for the 2011 JoeCustoms Awards. This is the time of year when we sift through the best of the best and decide which customs we here at JoeCustoms.com feel are the cream of the crop.

There are a few changes with this year's nomination and voting process. We added two new custom technique categories, Best eye-painter, and Best Action Shot (custom submission or dio). We also moved the customizer specific "Best overall categories to Technique. Lastly, we are bringing back the Dio-Story category. This Category is open to any GI Joe theme dio-story on the net, not just on JoeCustoms. Just be sure to include the url link to the specific story you want to nominate.

Once again we will be doing two rounds of voting. The first round will be on the board to limit the voting to four entries per category. The second round will be off-site to prevent any irregularities with the votes. You can still nominate yourself and you can still nominate five entries per category.

Just to give everyone a flavor for how last year's JCAs went, here is the link to last year's results The 2010 Results Page.
