ABOUT THE SHIITAKE AWARDS

The annual Shiitake Awards were created in 2008, much in the tradition of the infamous "Razzies," which showcases
the worst of those people who use sex offenders to further their careers or simply to gain their 15 minutes of fame.
Nominations for the eight categories occur throughout the year until November 30, and voting takes place during the
month of December. The winners (or losers, depending on how you look at it) will be announced on an upcoming
YouTube video.

To nominate candidates in each of the eight categories, please visit

RULES OF NOMINATING

The only rule to nominating is each nominee must have done something during the 12 month nomination period
from December 1 to November 30, the last day of nominations. If possible, add the news link to the nominations. You
can post nominations directly to the Shiitake Awards Blog or you can email me at derek@oncefallen.com.
Nominations are not limited to the most well known celebrity advocates; at times, previously unknown candidates
from remote locales have walked away with this "prestigious" award.
THE EIGHT SHIITAKE AWARDS CATEGORIES

  1. WORST POLITICO: Pandering politicians exploiting RSO laws for votes
  2. WORST NEWS MUTT: For news hounds who exploit RSOs for ratings
  3. HARDEST FALL: Scandals involving those who exploit sex offender laws [NOTE: Nominees need only be
    involved in ANY scandal, not just sex scandals]
  4. EVERYDAY ZEROES: Below-Average Joes who wanted their 15 minutes of fame and shame by attacking
    those listed on public registries, at times making total fools of themselves
  5. DUMBEST QUOTE: You could call it "people say the dumbest things." In this category, it is the quote that is
    nominated. This can give someone a chance to be a double winner in a year
  6. THE "HOLY SHIITAKES!" AWARD: Introduced in 2009, a special award for feats of stupidity we just couldn't
    pigeon-hole into the other seven categories
  7. STUPID LEGAL TRICKS AWARD: Otherwise known as the "Dumbest New Law of the Year"
  8. THE ICBS NATIONAL CHUMP-IONSHIP: The dumbest state of the year. Ask yourself, "From which state did "I"
    "C" the most "BS" this year?
