Daily Kos was born on May 26, 2002. That makes 2022 our 20th anniversary year, and just one of the ways we’re celebrating is by bringing back the Koscars! One of the things that makes Daily Kos special is our open platform, where community members can publish stories alongside staff. The Koscars seeks to acknowledge and honor outstanding writing contributions from everyone. The entire Daily Kos membership is “the Academy,” so your votes decide the winners.
Nominations are closed and the list of nominees is finalized! Now it is time to VOTE!!!
It’s been quite a journey over these past 12 weeks, rediscovering old favorites and going back to read stories that were missed completely the first time around. There’s an enormous selection of good material to choose from in twenty years’ worth of writing here, and each story has its own complex history attached: the bad, the good, the collaborations, the pie fights, the humor, the tears, the whirlwind, the truth. All of this and more make Daily Kos a unique place for people to gather and speak our minds and argue and agree and do our best to push the arc of history toward justice.
That gives us a lot to be proud of and plenty of reasons to celebrate this 20th anniversary year. Congratulations to all the nominees!
The 2022 Koscar ballot is below.
Don’t remember a particular story? Need help deciding how to vote? Links are provided to nominated stories, as well as to profiles of individuals and groups.
Please don’t use the comment section for voting. The comment threads are for reminiscing, encouraging folks to vote for one person or group or story over another, or venting about other aspects of the process, but if you want your votes to count they must be made on the Google Form.
You may vote for UP TO FOUR in each category. Be forewarned: There are so many outstanding choices that it may take you a while to narrow it down to four!
Voting will continue until next Wednesday, May 25.
TWO winners will be announced in each category on DK20A Day TOMORROW, May 26.
