2008 BME Year-End Awards
By BMEzine • Jan 3rd, 2009 • Category: Features
Some may find it trite to say things like, “Without the readers, none of this would be possible,” but with BME it could not be more true — each and every year, the community sustains us. Without you, there would be nothing here, and we’re routinely awed by the amount and quality of submissions we receive. This year, we published thousands upon thousands of new photos and experiences, to say nothing of guest articles, Ask.BME contributions and roundtable participation, and that, friends, is incredible. And now, on with the awards!

Experience reviewers?…

#8 - i agree.. i swear they were listed in the past…
This is the second year reviewers have been left out, I think.
Experience reviewers haven’t been forgotten. They earn shirts based upon their reviewing levels. There also isn’t an easy way to see who is the top reviewer. This was a very brief award page put together as quickly as we could. We’re dealing with a lot of end of year issues compounded by getting the new BME software set up for the upcoming launch.
It would like to know if this year we go to gain shirts as in the last year
Wooo! i’m actually on their haha. I think it’s hella cool. even though I tied or a last place spot. but still awesome!
