Sorry if what I said was a bit unclear, it wasn't meant to be about Pro taking over from Fan, but more about an unlevel playing field. There was a lot of self-nomination this year, whether that is more or less than other years I couldn't say. I find it quite tacky.
I'm not really sure what categories would best represent current media fannish activity. Maybe fan film? The other issue is that until media fandom reconnects with the convention scene the there will be nobody to nominate for any category that we might come up with. A bit of a chicken and egg situation there.
