RVA Class of 2010 Superlatives: Nominations

Since most local high school seniors have recently graduated (or are just about to) we thought it’d be fun to put together a little contest reminiscent of the superlatives many of us voted on as we were getting ready to sport caps and gowns. You know, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Since most local high school seniors have recently graduated (or are just about to) we thought it’d be fun to put together a little contest reminiscent of the superlatives many of us voted on as we were getting ready to sport caps and gowns. You know, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

The categories we’ve chosen will give us a chance to highlight all that is great about Richmond — the fun, the quirky, even the inspiring. Feel free to nominate an individual or an organization that you think best represents the spirit of the category. Nominations will run through 10pm on Sunday, June 20. Voting will take place later that week with the winners being announced soon after.

Take a minute to browse the categories, read the descriptions, and then click the big, fat link at the bottom of the page to submit your nominations. We can’t wait to see what you guys have to say!

Which person, organization, neighborhood, business, etc. in Richmond shows the most promise?

Most musically talented

Which Richmond musician or band do you think has got that special something?

Class clown

Is it the brains behind Tobacco Avenue? How about the folks at Richmond Comedy Coalition? Or maybe there’s just some random dude on Twitter who makes you spit Diet Coke all over your laptop on a regular basis.

Cutest couple

Richmond’s got all kinds of adorable power couples. Who is the MOST adorablest?

Most athletic

With college sports, professional soccer, and a new but beloved baseball team, there’s quite a bunch from which to choose.

Biggest gossip

Sure, the word ‘gossip’ sounds somewhat negative, but there are some people in this town who are ALWAYS in the know. Who do you go to when you want all the gory details?

Prom King

Ok, this isn’t really superlative, but we mostly just want to see what you come up with.

Prom Queen

Same deal as the king, but probably prettier.
