I'm bumping this as a reminder to users requesting awards, more particularly for the ones requesting awards for themselves, but I think we all need a fresh reminder.

-Provide good reasons for why people deserve awards, it definitely goes a long way. Links to profiles and galleries are a good way to do this.
-Not all award requests will be accepted so don't PM the staff asking why we didn't give so-and-so some award.
