Grape Awards is back! It’s that time of the month again. Rewards have now increased to 300.000 GRAPE for exceptional members of the Grape community!
It is a way to extend our gratitude as a community to some members that have gone above and beyond. A way to incentivize future individual excellence and a significant reward on top of the role emissions.
Just like in Epoch 2, The DAO selects the candidates, and the server votes to select the winners. In the case we have more that 5 submitted community members per category, the top 5 most mentioned in this Discourse page, will also be candidates in the voting process. Deadline for submissions is Sunday 5th of December
Role awards: 10.000 $GRAPE
Overall Contribution Award: 20.000 $GRAPE

I firmly believe if someone has won a previous epoch award, they should not be allowed to win the current epoch.
I won the last epoch for CC so please do not add my name to the voting on discord.
My votes-
Mod- Tariq + crex
Research- Durds
CC- Barndog
Designer- madivan ( for taking initiative with the grape benefits)
Video- Rafly
Most influential DAO – Cryptopawz no doubt, second durds
Panda- Natome
Overall-
1.Barndog-
commitment to Solana gaming, sourcing AMAs and encouraging involvement of other protocols with grape. Giving exposure to the overall solana community.
Natome or Pandacrew/Chinese community-
Underutilized subcommunity that could be incredibly powerful if we integrate Chinese members in the right way. Aswell as commitment to providing utility and direction for grape.

Overall contribution to Grape: Metaverse Explorer, Natome, Bloodbath
My two cents:
We should not force awards in every category.
Remaining Grape will go back to the treasury
We should avoid nominating team members for awards
Moderator: Johun
Researcher: Childermass
Designer: Baruska
Videographer: Rusli
Best New Gorilla: Saditya – he has made contributions across the entire space and deserves much more recognition
Most Influential DAO: Cryptopawz
Panda Crew: Natome
Overall Contribution: Bloodbath
Side thought – we should make the saying “My two Grapes” instead of “My two cents”
Is there a better way to do nominations, where people won’t be repeating people’s names? You only have to be nominated once to be included in voting yeah? If there was a master list somewhere that anyone could add to, people could just mention a nominee once and then others wouldn’t have to repeat.
