Daily Kos was born on May 26, 2002. That makes 2022 our 20th anniversary year, and just one of the ways we’re celebrating is by bringing back the Koscars! One of the things that makes Daily Kos special is our open platform, where community members can publish stories alongside staff. The Koscars seeks to acknowledge and honor outstanding writing contributions from everyone. The entire Daily Kos membership is “the Academy,” so your votes decide the winners.

Before we can get to voting—a beloved Daily Kos activity, indeed—we need nominees. This week, we are requesting nominations for the DK Congeniality Award. Is there a Daily Kos member, who may not be covered by other Koscar categories, whose presence is nevertheless essential to the vibe, the ethos, the ideals of the site as a whole? Nominate that person today!

On May 26, 2002, when Daily Kos was born, kos wrote these seven sentences:

I am progressive. I am liberal. I make no apologies. I believe government has an obligation to create an even playing field for all of this country’s citizens and immigrants alike. I am not a socialist. I do not seek enforced equality. However, there has to be equality of opportunity, and the private sector, left to its own devices, will never achieve this goal.

That makes 2022 our 20th anniversary year, and we have a lot to celebrate!

What better way to mark this milestone than to ask community members to nominate and vote on memorable highlights and outstanding contributions of the last two decades?

It’s time to nominate, vote on, and award some Koscars!
