AWARDS LIST
The BANAcademy Awards are broken up into 4 Main Categories: Miscellaneous Awards, the Most Likely to Awards, the FANTAstic Awards, and the Best Awards.
Each Award comes with its own unique description. Please read through them carefully, and think of all that has happened in Banano throughout 2023. Here, you can consider potential monKeys you’d like to nominate for certain Awards, or even find inspiration to campaign for an Award of your own!
“Best” Awards

Best Memes Award
In a memecoin, meme energy is something that flows through all of us- but some of us possess a seemingly innate ability to create memes which set the standard, nay, the expectation, of true meme quality. The Best Memes Award should be considered for a monKey who understands the meaning and application of memes, and has contributed relevant, popular, funny, and all around outstanding memes for the BANANO community and culture. This is considered a very prestigious Award, so think carefully!

Emojis and Stickers (especially on Discord) are a weeb's most articulate form of communication. They give us a certain... Expression of life.

This includes the creators of seasonal, contest, and server emojis/stickers, and more!

Best Project for BANANO Distribution Award
The BANANO ecosystem is comprised of many faucets, contests, events, and games that aim to get BAN into your hands. The Best Project for BANANO Distribution Award should be considered for the monKey(s) who have it figured out when it comes down to giving the people what they want, while maintaining free, fair, and fun distribution.
Best Project for BANANO Adoption Award
One of BANANO’s strongest qualities is the number of community-driven projects that exist for the purpose of expanding BANANO’s reach in the cryptosphere, increasing mainstream adoption, and changing how people view the world of digital assets. The Best Project for BANANO Adoption Award deserves to go to the monKey(s) who have created a truly exceptional project for BANANO adoption.
Best BANAcademy Campaign Award
It is safe to say that BANAcademy Awards season in BANANO is full of unpredictable campaigns, many of which show the true meme energy that lies within the Jungles of the Republic.

“Most Likely to” Awards
Most Likely to Dump in a Panic Award
Some people don't have it in them to stick it out when the going gets rough. The Most Likely to Dump in a Panic Award is for somebody who seems like they would abandon ship too soon.
Most Likely to HODL Too Long Award
The opposite of to dump in a panic is to HODL Too Long. Maybe it's the sentimental value, maybe it's laziness, but this award belongs in the hard, clutching hands of somebody who just ... can't let go
Most Likely to Be a Bad Babysitter Award
We don’t know.. some of you just seem like you would be terrible with kids.
Most Likely to Start a Cult Award
A wise man once said on the topic of cults: "you have more fun as a follower, but you make more money as a leader". The Most Likely to Start a Cult Award deserves to go to a monKey who seems like they would have great tasting Kool-Aid.
Most Likely to Join a Cult Award
Ooh, Kool-Aid!
Most Likely to Vote for Themself Award
It's the same rule every year: don't vote for yourself. Some monKeys just can't help themselves.
“Miscellaneous” Awards
Good Cop/Bad Cop Award(s)
One likes it soft, the other likes it rough. We aren’t here to judge whose methods are the most effective, nor the most ethical - but we do want to know whose methods are the best and baddest of them all.
Happy Helper Award

Activia Award

Hackerman Award
They are of above average intelligence. They will bypass the main frame and break into the data base. They are.. *Hackerman*
Entertainter Award
Some events will have the Jungles roaring long after the party ends. The best of the best will have the monKeys begging for more. The Entertainter Award is destined to belong to the hostest with the mostest bumpin’ events in the BANANO Republic.
Most Promising New Project Award
In 2023, the BANANO ecosystem grew with even more new developments and community projects. This Award should go to the most promising new project of the past year.
Troll Award
What is it that defines the true essence of Trolling? Is it baiting people with controversial ideas? Maybe it is finely dancing the line between stupidity and genius? Or perhaps it is hiding under a bridge and scaring the shit out of people. Trolling is an art that many attempt but few master, and this Award wants to recognize that.
Gone Phishing Award
Do you know somebody who is forgetful, prone to mistakes, maybe even a little careless? Would they misplace their wallet, forget they have something secret copied to their clipboard, or click a bad link? If any of these things reminded you of somebody, you should probably vote for them to win the Gone Phishing Award.
Funniest Monkey Award
It doesn't matter what they say, they'll still put a smile on your face. Whether it is memes or just good ol’ shitposting, the Funniest Monkey Award is for the comedic that's a natural at making people laugh.
Landslide Award
The Landslide Award is given to the monKey who secured the most nominations across all categories.
MVM Awards
The Most Valuable MonKeys should eat, sleep, breathe, and bleed 3 things: crypto, potassium, and memes. They are also kind, helpful, engaging, reliable, active in multiple facets of the community, well-respected amongst their peers, and seek to grow the BANANO community and coin through hard work, dedication, and pure awesomeness.
And possibly more!
