Best portrayal of a canon character
Who portrays the main Hogan's Heroes characters best?
This is where you nominate the best portrayal of
Hogan, Klink, Schultz, LeBeau, Newkirk, Kinch, Carter, Burkhalter and Hochstetter.
.
Best portrayal of a canon extra
Best character performance from any other regular or guest character who originates from the original TV-show,
ranging from semi main cast member Baker to the merely mentioned Nimrod,
from Frau Linkmeyer to Freddy,
and from the sergeant of the motorpool to the guy on the back bunk in barracks 2.
.
Best original character
Best original (new) character created for a story that you would have enjoyed seeing in the actual TV-show.
.
Best portrayal of a visiting crossover character
We're trying out a new category:
Best portrayal of a character from another show in a Hogan's Heroes crossover.
This can be interpreted both as 'portraying the character like s/he is in his/her own show'
and as 'portraying a character in such a way that even someone who doesn't know the show where s/he comes from
can see him/her as an understandable and well-developed character.
.
Best teaser
The most tickling teaser or summary that makes you want to read the story right away!
.
The best quotes
Here you may nominate 3.
The most interesting (funniest or moving or silly or so very true or...) line or lines you've come across this year.
But: – keep it short (in dialogue max statement - reply - reaction; in descriptive text max three lines (e.g. from capital to period))
– and make sure it makes sense even outside its context.

Closing date for nominations:
February 13th, 2015
