2004 (2006!) Reader Awards

You thought we'd forgotten? You thought it would never happen? But no, as sure as death, taxes and flobby bacon, the OUTDOORSmagic Annual Reader Awards are back albeit a bit late... And yes, we know that's last year's graphic.

As with the 2004 ones, these are your awards. We're going to use broadly the same categories as last time and we're asking you to nominate your favourites on the forum or direct by e-mail. Once we have a shortlist for each category, you'll be able to vote for your faves on the site with the winners getting a spangly OM Award Trophy and great lashings of cudos as well.

To get an idea of what happened last time, check out the 2004 Award Winners then get onto the forum and get nominating - alternatively, if the forum scares you, mail us direct with the header 'Award Nominations'.
