GAFFER TAPE AWARDS?

What does everyone reckon about initiating something like this?
I realise that the other annual awards usually cover various things like Lighting & what have you. But the focus is of course on the all the warm props, luvvies & twirlirlies.
We might be able to uncover a sponsor or three. In various sections, besides sets & lighting. Also costumes, makeup, props & all the other black duck endeavours as well.
Even have the different colours of gaffer designating the discipline.
Jump in with your thoughts even on having a golden gaffer tape ball award or any other ides? Even if it just for me to evaporate &?or pull my head in!
Also any clues on how it might be formulated or possibly worked. Without stretching further the Aunty adjudicator numbers & looking to our techie pears instead.

Ah fawt about this'n hav'n fought, ah fink ar better fink t'out agin!
From Logos's post I was thinking on "who would run the show", meaning how would the award process be structured? Not "who will run the show", on the boards!
I was thinking along the lines of just sending the award by mail, rather than any thing like the 'Nobby' awards night. {I realise the 'Finley's' are not spelt 'Finlay' [as in "Nibble Nobby's"} Or the 'Bobby' awards, where to be considered to be nominated, the nominee has to front up with quite a few thousand notes first.
 I was thinking something rather simple, like any show can be considered on an ad hoc basis. Possibly on the recommendation of the over worked Aunty Adjudicators? I suppose the sponsors, if there is any? Will have some input especially if they are throwing in the gold bricks for a particular gaffer gong. I was hoping this topic would throw up a few ideas & suggestions on how it could be organised?
