Thanks to everyone who made the SMPCA's such a success this year, we finished with 108 nominations, nearly tripling the previous record. Practically everyone nominated at least once, and some you nominated over ten times. Either way, you helped contribute to one of our favorite events, and the staff applauds you for it

Without further adieu, your winners!

Again, congratulations to all of our winners, your medals will be up soon. Remember to nominate for the MOTM's until next November when we will do the SMPCA's for the fourth year. Thanks to all our nominators and good night

I want to give my deepest thanks to those who nominated me for the other awards, being runner up for three of them to me means a whole lot more than winning one.

Again, thanks a lot

I want to thank everyone who nominated me, as well as congratulate all the winners! This has been another excellent round, thanks to K50, and I'm already looking forward to the 2013 round! and the "one who can't shut it" award never gets old either. It still stands as my favorite category.

Congratulations to all award winners, and thank you for everyone nominating! Everyone was very deserving of their awards - it really goes to show the quality of our members.

I would also like to thank everyone for nominating Holt District DD of the Year - it means a lot.

Congratulations to everyone!

Thank you all for nominating me to awards, and several noms! Congratulations to Simmania who has grown considerably in the past year, with more new members coming and the record amount of nominations received by the site. Next year there will be more noms and more people

So, what will be colour of the ribbons?

Wow great winners!!!!!

Congradulations everyone! You are all well deserving of each award you recieved and were nominated for

I also thank everyone for making this community the best SC4 Community on the web!

And a special thank you to whoever nominated me for staff member of the year. Considering I haven't been around much this year, I'm surprised there were some who thought I actually was worthy of that

Okay, I think I've got all the medals where they should be. If you don't have one (it's purple and silver this year, look under my profile to see the '10, '11, and '12 medals in that order) or you lost one you previously received, let me know as soon as possible

Make sure to check the text below it to see what you won is correct as well, that's equally important

Thanks to all that nominated me, and congrats to everyone that won, was nominated, or was runner up!

Congratulations to everyone, I think that each award winner certainly deserves it! Also, a huge well done to the staff for making this year's SMPCA's another huge success.

Congratulations to all the winners and thank you for the nominations in the Developer Diary categories. I may not be hugely active here outside of that forum but I think this is a great community and hope that it continues to thrive!
And thank you for all of you who voted for Cattala as the Most Aesthetic DD this year.

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees. Thank you very much for the nominations.

The medals are looking good, K50. Mine is correct, as do the others look to be as well so far.

I'd once again like to thank everyone for voting in this year's SMPCAs... without your nominations - well, nobody would have won an award.

Congratulation guys, the awards are well deserved

I'm so happy Thanks for the awards!

Congratulations to the winners.

Congratulations, indeed. Good job, everybody!

A great year for SM, with many new members, and a new BAT team in our name!!

As for me, my league is returning soon.

Congrats to all the winners !
For me personally, i an quite honored and proud of winning the teacher of the year awards. Thanks for the nominations and all who voted for me.

Thanks, Brian
