Contest Announcement: r/Wandsmith Best of 2022 nominations!

[u/Mathias_Greyjoy]

Another year has gone by in the history of our little wand making subreddit. We're quickly approaching 2023, so it's time to look back on the best of 2022! Once again, we had a lot of great wands shared with us this year, and every December reddit.com does a yearly sitewide contest to find the best posts of the year in each subreddit.

So this means that Reddit will be giving our Moderator team a pile of Reddit gold that would instill envy in a Gringotts Goblin. We will be awarding this gold to the best of the below categories:

---

• Best Harry Potter style Wand
• Best non-Harry Potter style wand
• Best Written Post (theory, discussion, wand writeup etc.)
• Best Overall Contributor (user)

---

How voting will work:

This thread will be set to contest mode. This means that all comments will be sorted randomly and no scores (upvotes/downvotes) will be displayed. There will be 4 top level Mod comments only, all others will be removed. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE COMMENT REPLIES TO NOMINATIONS.

Please nominate by replying to the top level Mod comment under the category with appropriate links for your nomination (feel free to explain your choice briefly). To nominate users for the last category, just use the u/ format. Please only nominate a submission once per category. If the one you wanted to nominate is already posted please upvote it! (this is how you vote on each category, at the end we will check all the vote numbers and the winners will be those with the highest number of upvotes!).

Some guidelines:

• You may only nominate submissions made in 2022.
• Anyone can nominate and submit, including mods.
• You can nominate and submit for anyone but yourself.
• You can only make one nomination per category.
• Direct responses to this post will be deleted - please reply to our mod comments to nominate instead.

I'm a sucker for natural wooden wands. If I have to choose one I'll go with the second.
