Wikia are giving us a great opportunity to increase interest in the site at around the time of the 50th anniversary. Not only are they helping us with a Wikia-wide trivia contest, but they're going to help us host a Wikia-wide awards contest next year!

We've participated in these kind of things lately, like the Fantasy Food Fight and the Starship Smackdown contest. But it's always required going to another wiki to play.

Well, now it's time for Wikia to come to us.

Modeled on this contest at the Game of Thrones Wiki, the idea is a sort of "Academy Awards for Doctor Who".

We come up with categories for awards, plus nominees in those categories, and then the good people working with Kate.moon — yep, the same people who helped us spruce up the front page recently — help us design the contest pages and push the contest Wikia-wide.

So let's get on it! What are your ideas for awards categories? Best companion? Best Virgin Adventures novel? Best audio? And who are your nominees?

I don't really have an idea yet of how many categories we can have, so let's just dream big. Put down as many awards categories as you can think of, and we'll choose the best of 'em later!
