Change the name a little and find someone to honor and some folks to honor her/him and spread the word. Spread the news and honor the deeds of those that provide value to our industry. ?? Remember we can use as many heroes as we can get and don't need to limit them. I also see your point but if anyone on the "most improved" "most valuable" "most reliable" lists gets an award, report and celebrate it!! We have work to do against the "oblivious" media in order to push more value to the industry like global panic power groups do. -30 Make up all the awards and names you can.

I think there are enough of those shows around that almost everyone who has speent two weeks in the T V or movie business can at least get nominated for some award. If there's a lull in action they invent yet another ceremony and expect that we will all be waiting breathlessly for their peacock walk and pronouncements. To be sure, there are a number of folks out here that get goose bumps seeing Cher walk down the red carpet and it's my guess that that same group all voted for the same candidate in the last election. I'm willing to bet that the award you write about is vastly more important to journalists than it is to us bloggers. Not many of us will be wetting our pants over who did or didn't get that award. Not that you guys don't deserve the right to give each other awards. I, like many others, enjoy your writings along with some of the others you mention You just overestimate our breathlessness. I had never even heard of this award until now. It seems like almost a weekly event for the Hollywood types to get together to give awards to themselves.

I can see both sides. By getting consumer journalists to write it opens up the world at large to the lifestyle. So, of course let's honor those folks. On the other hand those that are in the trenches everyday working to secure the future of the industry I believe there is an award due to them as well. I do question the relevance or prestige of an award given to an individual who wrote one article about one experience. Given the facts are true. What about those individuals from rv.net or other RVing consumer sites that write blogs/articles all the time to RVing folks keeping the lifestyle alive?
