We Are Now Accepting Nominations For The 2016 Card Chronicle Person of The Year

We are now officially taking your nominations for the 2016 version of the highest honor there is in the city of Louisville: the Card Chronicle Person of the Year.

Please remember that the person of the year does not have to be an actual person ("No Pants" was once a finalist). This isn't Sports Illustrated, it's much, much more serious.

This year's winner will join that elitest of elite Derby City fraternities, which includes:

2007 - Tom Jurich
2008 - David Padgett
2009 - Vacant (we forgot to do it) 
2010 - Charlie Strong
2011 - Charlie Strong and Preston Knowles (tie)
2012 - Tom Jurich
2013 - Teddy Bridgewater
2014 - Russ Smith
2015 - Kelsi Worrell

The nomination process will end today and we'll begin the two-day voting on the 3-5 finalists tomorrow. After a record number of votes (and a controversial finish) a year ago, I'm very interested to see how this year's competition plays out.

Let your nominations fly in the comments.
