Authors that had at least 10 published tips qualified for the Author of the Year and new authors in 2021 that had at least 5 published tips qualified for the Rookie of the Year.

Please congratulate the contenders and winners in the form below! All of these authors deserve significant recognition for all of their contributions and we encourage all of the authors to take it to the next level to provide the community with even more beneficial content in 2022!
