Hi wonderful RAOC community members!

It's that time of year again. That's right, it's the annual /r/RandomActsofCards Best of 2023! There is NO sitewide contest this year, so this is just for our community!

So as this year comes to an end, we'd love to hear what you think were the best parts of RAOC this year. You can filter posts in the sidebar by using our handy dandy links - this makes it so much easier to browse through the posts for requests, offers, etc.

Without further ado, here we go!

Rules

You may make as many nominations as you'd like, but please only do one nomination per comment (e.g. to nominate two users for best card, make a separate comment for each).

We encourage self-nominations, so YES you can nominate yourself!

Nominations must be for cards or active users during the 2023 calendar year. To be considered active, the user must have at least one post or comment on the sub during the year prior to this post.

Nominations must be made by active users (see above for definition).

Since there are no official prizes this year, mods are eligible to be nominated!

How to Nominate and Vote

This post is set in contest mode. Comments will be randomized and scores will not be visible. There will be one top-level mod comment for each category, and you must reply to that comment for the nomination to be valid.

To submit a nomination, reply to the appropriate category's comment.

For each nomination, you must provide a link to the user page, post, or a photo of the card that you would like to nominate. It would be nice to include a short blurb about why you think the nomination should win, but it's not required.

To vote for a nomination, up-vote the comment.
