The HDC Special Jury Award is a much-coveted Award for the members, since it recognises and honors their true talents. This year, we stand up and salute the wonderful artists who have thrived to HDC over the years but haven't got much recognition for their fantastic artistic talents. We have 3 wonderful members who are really amazing talents with their hands - be it brushes, acrylic, oil, canvas, sculpting, comic art or computer graphics. I request all of you to stand up and applaud for... Great person, wonderful contributing member, a friend of friends, a great student and movie geek alike, but above all... A REALLY FANTASTIC ARTIST... HDC SPECIAL JURY AWARD #1 OF THE NIGHT GOES TO... http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g1...ecialJury3.jpg For her amazing work in art, visit this thread - http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52615 You can also catch her on Facebook and Tumblr. :) Congratulations, MissM!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear friends...

It's been a special honor and a big privilege to be elected as HDC President last year and lead you onward into 2010. For this sixth year of my tenure in here, I have seen this place go through several turbulent and cheerful periods alike. Thank you for supporting every innovation, idea and crazy concoction I threw your way and making it a grand success. Honestly, I feel overwhelmed every time I think of all the support and dedication you have given to me and have stood by me through thick and thin.

But, we are into the last day of 2010. Tomorrow, we shall enter 2011. And honestly, the state of affairs HDC finds itself in today is slightly appaling and alarming. And as every leader in history, I take the blame for it. Maybe it's time for new ideas, fresh innovations and new members to come to the fore and take the baton from people like us and modernise HDC and shape it into their vision.

Don't feel alarmed, my friends. Change is inevitable. I was new once myself, and I did my part too. So, with time, I must also gracefully step aside and let others come forward and manage the role I have been doing all this time.

My tournaments draw to a close slowly, and after tonight I will be shifting my computer to my new home. It is a fitting moment for me to step down as HDC President and give you a new President for 2011...

Before I do that, I apologise for not conducting this through votes and an election, like last year. I was afraid that all of you might re-elect me again, there's no doubting your love for me. I will be around, don't worry.

So, with your collective permission for this year at least, I would like to nominate your new HDC President for 2011...

It will be...


DOC FAUSTUS


I really hope Doc accepts, and leads you into a fantastic New Year. May he bring in some fresh traffic (and make some old members return), and we have a thriving and bustling HDC yet again.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Your New President -
