AHN awards?

Most industries seem to be awash with annual awards and ceremonies these days, but strangely the art world isn't. So I've been wondering if AHN should heroically step in to fill the gap. Severe budget limitations mean that the prizes won't be anything more than a round of applause from AHN and its readers. But imagine the prestige!
So can readers suggest categories and worthy winners? I'm thinking of things like:
- Best Exhibition
- Best Catalogue
- Best Discovery
- Best Acquisition
- Best Book
- Best Website
- Best Contemporary Art Guff
Bit of a daunting task. Help!
