The Special Award is a rotating award for which 667ers choose an entirely new criterion every year. Previous years’ Special Awards include Most Missing, Most 13 Year Old, Best Out of Context Quote, Most Likely to Secretly be Daniel Handler, Best Person at Finding Out Stuff to do with the Netflix Series (that probably needs a snappier name), Most Conspicuously Absent, and Best Potential Quarantine Buddy.
