How to run a fair superlatives vote

• Keep every category positive. If someone would be upset to win it, cut it.
• Make more categories than you think you need. The more categories, the more seniors get recognized.
• One win per person. If someone wins two, give them their top one and move the second spot to the runner-up.
• Ask before couple categories. Only include couples who both say yes.
• Vote with a form, not a show of hands. It keeps it honest and low pressure.
