Honouring 10 antennae for being outstanding in different matters.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The team behind The AEGEEan magazine is very excited to carry on the project for another year, as Anna Gumbau, the editor-in-chief, suggests: \u201c<em>It has been a popular tradition of ours for the last two years, and the third edition will definitely reassure The AEGEEan\u2019s Choice Awards as a tradition in our Spring Agorae\u201d.<\/em> Starting today, January 9th, and during the next three weeks it is possible for you to submit candidates you have for the ten different categories. Some of them are the same as the former two years but at the same time The AEGEEan team has added three exciting categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">First of all The AEGEEan believe it is necessary to honour the locals that make a grand effort through different actions in order to recruit new members. That is why \u201c<strong>The most effective recruiting action\u201d<\/strong> has been added to the list of categories.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Together with<strong> \u201cThe most inspiring local activity\u201d<\/strong>, The AEGEEan aims to give recognition not only to the things happening on European Level but also on Local level.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Adding to that it is also considered essential to add <strong>\u201cThe most outstanding AEGEE moment\u201d<\/strong> to the awards honouring the different actions that have taken place in the former year and it is therefore the third new category added to the list.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After the three weeks of suggestions of nominations, ten juries (with three members each) will gather and select the final nominations for the different categories. The AEGEEan will ensure to include many different active AEGEE members! <em>\u201cThe AEGEEan, and the Network as a whole, have\u00a0eye-witnessed\u00a0many memorable moments and outstanding actions by our members\u201d<\/em>, Anna adds<em>, \u201cso I am pretty sure that the choice will be difficult!\u201d<\/em>. These next three weeks will also be used to arrange the juries making sure that plenty of thought is put into which antennae and members will be nominated among the final nominations. Hopefully The AEGEEan will get correspondence from members of the Network Commission, Action Agenda Coordination Committee, Public Relations Committee, Comit\u00e9 Directeur and more, and that all will help because of their broad knowledge about events and moments happening in AEGEE.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The ten categories are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Most impressive roll call<\/strong>: honouring the locals that make an effort to bring smiles on the faces of the statutory events participants. Only roll calls that took place at EBM Valletta, Agora Rhein-Neckar and Agora Zaragoza can be nominated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Most active Working Group:<\/strong> The Working Groups carry out many interesting activities and at The AEGEEans Choice Awards the members of AEGEE choose the one that has been most active in 2013.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Best team achievement:<\/strong> Together Everyone Achieves More and there are many things that a team can do. This awards honors the best team achievement of 2013!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Most successful thematic event:<\/strong> The Action Agenda and Strategic Plan are highly important for AEGEE and at The AEGEEans Choice Awards the best of the best are honored for prioritizing the thematics of AEGEE.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Best Video:<\/strong> There are many creative and gifted AEGEE members that use hours and hours into making video promotion for AEGEE and the best one of 2013 will be named at Agora Patra.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Most creative merchandise:<\/strong> Cups, t-shirts, stickers, hats and more are all different types of merchandise that carry the AEGEE logo somehow and at The AEGEEans Choice Awards the most creative of 2013 will be honoured.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Most original mascot:<\/strong> Almost all antennae have a mascot and many European Level bodies have one as well but which antenna, Working Group or Project Team has put the most thought into the choice of theirs?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Most outstanding AEGEE moment:<\/strong> One of the new categories as previously mentioned aimed to point out which moment was the biggest and most important of AEGEE during the year of 2013.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Most effective recruitment action:<\/strong> Another new category, this one honoring the antennae that are successful in terms of using different actions to get new members to contribute to the growth of AEGEE.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Most inspiring local activity:<\/strong> Antennae organise things that are not European events but that does not give them any less significance. This award has been added to highlight the actions antennae do on a local level and give inspiration to the rest of the organisation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Afterwards The AEGEEan will of course bring you all the stories behind the nominations!
