We’re excited to announce that through public vote our fifth annual Pat Schuler Kick Butt Award winner has been selected for 2022!
We almost closed this award for good when only one nomination came in by the deadline. Luckily the last-chance (forever) announcement lit a fire and we had a record number of submissions.
Every single candidate received votes and for a bit it was head-to-head between two nominees. But we have a clear winner!
With 39.3% of the votes (21.4% more than the the runner up of 8 nominees), we have our 2022 winner.
It is our sincere hope that we see 2023 nominations for the other worthy candidates.
Please congratulate the 2022 winner of the Pat Schuler Kick Butt Award:
