I'm into awards for: - Stories (and along the categories we had earlier)
- Writers (;-)
- Actors
- Music
- Sound
- Artwork / cover
- Directing
Plus a whole bunch of other angles:
- Newcomer (writer, director, music, actor...)
- New monster
- Best title (ie just the name itself, not the story)

What do you guys think? I took a lot of your suggestions Tony but not sure if I like best title Best Doctor Who Story This can be an individual story in a boxset or an individual release like a Main Range story or Short Trip, etc. The Doctor must be a main character. Best Doctor Who Related Box SetThis is an award for the entire box set. Again the Doctor must be a main character in this set. Best Worlds of Doctor Who StoryThis can be an individual story in a box set or an individual release. The Doctor can be a character in this release but only a guest character. Best Worlds of Doctor Who Box SetAs above an award for the whole box set. Again the Doctor may appear in this but only as a guest character. Best Non-Doctor Who Story This is for the best individual story from ranges not related to Doctor Who at all. Such as Avengers, Dark Shadows, Dorian Gray, Prisoner, Survivors, etc. Best Non-Doctor Who Box SetThis is as above for the best non-Doctor Who box set Best Writer AwardWho was our favorite writer of 2016 Best New Writer AwardThis is for the best new writer who first started writing for Big Finish in 2016 Best Director AwardThis is for the best director of 2016 (not sure if there were enough new directors) Best MusicBest score of 2016 Best Sound Design Best Cover ArtBest New Character
Can be an original character or one first used by Big Finish in 2016. Doctor Who or Otherwise Best New Monster or VillainCan be an original monster or villain or one first used by Big Finish in 2016. Can be Doctor Who or Otherwise. Best Actor AwardBest actor of 2016 Best New Actor AwardMust have started with Big Finish in 2016 Best New Series
This can be Doctor Who or Non-Doctor Who related. It must be a completely new range/release of 2016. Best Overall Individual Story Can be from any range Best Overall Box SetCan be from any range. Our Favorite Range of 2016Award for the range as a whole Thoughts? This is a lot so I am happy to drop some to get rid of some of the bloat.

The only Doctor I follow 100% at BF is McGann, and most of the other stories I've bought are quite old, so Doom Coalition 3 will be getting alot of votes from at least one of us...

Just to be clear first there will be nominations then votes. You don't have to nominate or vote in every category. Also if a category doesnt get enough nominations (at least 3) it will be deleted from the Voting stage.

This sounds great, Kim. Thanks. I don't think you need to drop any, unless it doesn't get enough nominations, of course.

I like the list, it seems to cover everything we could possibly want to vote for. I like that this community will have a chance to send a flare up and let Big Finish know all the different things we've enjoyed this year.

Yes. Brilliant. With the caveat that I think a subforum may be neccessary to reduce clutter? The nominations will all be in one thread.

Last minute category suggestion, but best individual scene? If you had to play one scene to someone to convince them to listen to a story, what scene would that be?

The nominations will all be in one thread. I was more thinking of the voting stage... I'm with @toaau on this one.

Looking at them listed all at once, wow. The Main Range alone was full of exceptional stories. How to choose between The Peterloo Massacre and The Two Masters? Or a bunch of others. And then add the 4 DAs which were really good this season, as well as the boxed sets. It's been a great year for Big Finish Doctor Who.

This is only for audios in 2016 so those won't count Well then, I vote The Trouble with Drax. Call me Romana, but the whole thing being inconsequential rubs me up the wrong way. The reveal happening once was clever, but it got used so often that it stopped having any meaning, especially the last time. It seems to be a popular story but it's a waste of a really good writer and cast IMO. Which of the light-hearted/humorous audios DID you like? [That's a genuine question - not sarcasm, just in case it reads badly]

I may actually let the New Writer/Actor awards include stuff from 2015 because I think there is an actor at least who joined late in 2015 who should be recognized.Pure bias on my part.

[That's a genuine question - not sarcasm, just in case it reads badly] The One Doctor, anything with the Scorchies, Peri and the Piscon Paradox for starters. The third episode of Doctor Who and the Pirates gets special mention. Bad Habits is a riot. The Veiled Leopard doesn't put Hex through some torment or another for once. My problem with Trouble is that it feels like an episode of the Drax show guest starring the Fourth Doctor and Romana. All it missed was Drax breaking the fourth wall Deadpool style.

I would like to have best overall sound, as a category, that's the biggest deal to me.
As far as the Big Hurt award for sound so far this year, that I have listened to, it was tonight, I listened to The Maker of Demons, and I had to crank it up to 29 to hear most of it, then the special effects would deafen me, and I couldn't hear parts of it due to background noise being louder than actors. It was just bad.
I also listened to Only the Monstrous tonight, and it's sound was great, except for the daleks being to loud, at least they were understandable.
But I would like a best overall sound as a category, because that is what I use to judge a story, if you cant hear, you cant judge it, and some do a great job sound editing, while others, really need to go back to school to learn their trade better.
