HODLawards: Nominees, Prizes & Winners Cycle

HODL Nominees:
Every story published on the HODLawards platform becomes an official Nominee. Each nominee may, or  may not, pockets some sponsor swag, if we have sponsors and they have swag.

Community Voting:
The HODL community votes via Thumbs Up 👍 on the wildest, most tragic, or downright legendary crypto fails. Our team also curates standout stories to keep the fun fair and fabulously diverse.

Winners Announcement:
Once a year, we crown the HODLawards winners. Not sure where or how yet. It may be via Crypto Twitter or Spaces, or if we have supporters it may even be a high-profile media showdown – shining the spotlight on tales of epic crypto misadventure.

Honourable Mentions:
If someone somehow claws back their lost crypto through sheer grit, cunning, or borderline insanity, congrats—they earn an Honourable Mention. But sorry, no HODLaward for those who survive the digital abyss.

Bonus:
Winners may snag extra prizes, sponsor swag, exclusive interviews, and a prized spot in the growing HODLawards Hall of Fame.

Still evolving—send us your feedback, your fails, and your funniest crypto catastrophes!
