Best New/Unknown Unterganger Award

The Best New/Unknown Untergangers Award was a competition that was organized by Hitler Rants Parodies. This contest was first suggested via a thread on Downfallparodies.net.

Qualifications
To qualify for the competition, the following criteria has to be met:

Qualification New Unterganger 

To qualify to be entered into this award as a new Unterganger you: Qualification Unknown Unterganger
 * Must have started making parodies in the last six months and have no more than 100 subscribers.
 * Must be actively making parodies.

To qualify to be entered into this award as a unknown Unterganger you: Retired Untergangers and those who have been dormant can't be nominated.
 * Must have been making parodies for over 1 year and have less than 200 subscribers.
 * Must be actively making parodies.

Nomination and voting
Any Unterganger that met the criteria could be nominated, but no self-nominations were allowed. There was one round of voting, which lasted till the end of the month. It appears that the winner was determined entirely by the highest vote count as opposed to judging. The winner got a "Hitler is informed" video promoting them.

Controversy
On March 17th, with the voting hardly even started, Hitler Rants Parodies deleted one of the nominees for the Award, Kaan Maz, because he voted for himself using another account. A similar incident occured with Hanif837, but for the Unterganger of the Month Award in May 2012.

On June 22, Hitler Rants Parodies banned a voter named Earl747 for voting using two accounts. Prior to the events, Earl747 had been banned on the Untergangers Chat for disruptive behaviour and concurrently, the Downfallparodies.net chat.

On October 16th, the contest was suspended due to a scandal within the community.

The contest returned in November, but on the 20th of November, Hitler Rants Parodies decided due to recent events affecting the community and the contest itself, that the November 2014 Best New/Unknown Unterganger Award would be the last one to be held for the foreseeable future.

The Best New/Unknown Unterganger Award will be relaunched in March 2015.
