I was reading this thread the other day and was thinking that removing the second classic one and just having another whatever category would be better, but then I thought a prize winner category as WT Sharpe mentioned might be good.
Actually, you first mentioned it, but it's a good idea in my opinion, whether this year or in 2012.
