Initial voting ends the afternoon of July 20th, tiebreakers end the morning of the 22nd.
Wow, @D_i_a_v_l_o , @ArcanisHD, @HehtorOCH, @glitter_caticorn, @isIand, @ivypool2, @PurpleKitten22, @-Cinematic-, and @Rosyda saw this! :O
Welcome to the 2018 Scratch Day Awards! To vote, simply comment your favorites from one of the categories in the notes.

New category: Best Tutorials (as suggested by @Ivypool2)
Most Helpful (as suggested by @Ivypool2)

Categories I missed or should add? Let me know!

RULES:
-Only one vote per category. NOTE: If you vote for two people, I give the person with less votes your vote.
-Be serious when you're voting. Don't vote someone random for best gamemaker, for instance, just because you like them or as a joke.
-Don't vote for yourself.
-Please vote for someone still active on an account (it's okay if there on break, but not if they quit Scratch). I know that rules out a lot of good people *COUGHALOTOFANIMATORSCOUGH* but that's just my rule.

Keep on Scratching!

PLEASE READ: Everyone, regular voting will end on July 20, in the evening. On the 20 and 21st, we will have tiebreakers. Tiebreakers will mean you have to vote for one of the top people in a category (they have to be tied for first). That will eliminate several/many from each category. Stay tuned to know when the tiebreakers are happening.

Here's the tally so far:
