TeenHelp Winter Awards.

Source: Announcements forum | Thread.


Hey everyone,

Some of you may remember our "Outstanding contribution awards", which recognised amazing contributions made by our volunteers. We are now reintroducing these and will be issuing them twice a year. Our "Winter Awards" will be issued in December to coincide with the holiday period, while our "Summer Awards" will be issued in July to coincide with our anniversary. The prize will be 6 months' sponsorship, which gives several extra features on the site.

These awards recognise and reward many different kinds of contributions to TeenHelp - They can be for high activity across the site or to a single area; they could be giving amazing advice or for writing a good article; they could be long service or from a great newcomer. You don't have to be the most active person or the longest serving person, as long as you contribute in meaningful ways you could be the next one getting an award!

Although it was ridiculously hard to choose out of so many worthy people to give awards to this time around, the current awards I would like to issue this year for our Winter Awards are as follows (in alphabetical order):

• Chantal (WretatsyRemedial) - Chantal has contributed thoughtfully to a number of areas of TeenHelp, helping to keep our FCRDs running for several months, while more recently contributed to our publications through numerous quality pieces and editing work.
• Holly (Celyn) - Holly has been one of our HelpLINK Mentors for several years and has shown consistently high activity and ongoing dedication to providing great advice in one of our busiest areas, which is greatly appreciated.
• Junior (Special Agent) - Junior is one of our most active Live Help Mentors! Through being available to speak to those who need someone to talk to, Junior has helped keep Live Help online more often and provide a friendly and supportive ear when needed.
• Jessie (Palmolive.) - Jessie has been a Mentor for many years now and stills comes on to give thorough and supportive advice in HelpLINK and the Forums with kindness and compassion.
• Lexi (Querencia.) - Lexi has been one of our Community Mentors for two years and has a good presence around the site and is friendly helping new users, which she does very consistently and with great effort!
• Oliver (Kartoffel) - Oliver is highly visible around the site the site and has been a Community Mentor along with a Moderator for a few years now, spending much time helping talking to others and helping them out!

Congratulations to everyone who has received a received an award!
