August 2018 Community Awards

[#1]

I'm so excited that it's time for another round of Community Content Awards! I really love the opportunity to recognize some of the awesome Community Champions and community members who are going above and beyond to help make this community the amazing place that it is. 

For those of you who are new to these awards, in the past we've had two categories: Champion and Rising Star. The Champion category is meant to honor our contributors who are part of the official Community Champion program – the best of the best. The Rising Star category identifies the extraordinary up-and-comers in our community. And this time, we're adding a new category so we can celebrate our top Atlassians who have gone beyond their job descriptions to become active participants on the Atlassian Community.

Without further ado, the winners of the August 2018 Atlassian Community Awards are:

If only the Dundies was an option for the community awards...

Thank you and congratulations to all the other winners! I think, "Charlies" is a great name for the awards, but it was already used in 2009 for Summit awards:

Don't know, if we can reactivate it.

[Emily Errico]

@Thomas Schlegel Oops, didn't know about those. If we can't reactivate it, maybe we can call the awards list the Community Dream Team, since Atlassian is so team-oriented.

[Meg Holbrook]

Congrats everyone!!! 

Meg: Making your Mondays less productive, one fluff article at a time. ;)

@Manon Soubies-Camy - I love this idea so much

[Jodi LeBlanc]

Congratulations everyone! How about the ACE Awards {Atlassian Community Engagement (acronym)} for the name of these awards? Sad I will miss everyone in Barcelona, wish I could be there with you all - enjoy every last moment (especially Trello Day!)

[Monique vdB]

Oooh really like that suggestion, @Jodi LeBlanc!!! We will miss you :(

Everyone who is missing this one (and everyone who is not missing it, basically every single one of you) will have to come to the next US Summit. 

[Mirek]

@Manon Soubies-Camygave me an idea for the Awards name with this GIF ;) .. What about ..

Atlassian Community High Five (Excellence) Awards! :)

Congratulations to all!

[Jodi LeBlanc]

[Erica Moss]

@Jodi LeBlanc Love your suggestion for the new name! ✨

[Jodi LeBlanc]

Thanks @Erica Moss I was aiming to think of something that was catchy as a standalone acronym but would resonate with the spirit of the awards :)
