I'm far too positive about all aspects of hardcore all of the time (albeit I'm no Jay). So, these awards cast a critical eye on the scene, focussing on the not so good things this year.
Here are the 6 categories:
1. The worst track of the year - As it says on the tin -
2. The most disappointing drop of the year - The track with so much promise but just failed to deliver on the all important kick off -
3. The most disappointing producer of the year - This may be someone who you believe has bucket loads of talent or has previously made excellent music but for one reason or another was a major flop in 2013 -
4. The biggest bitch of the year - Self explanatory, who winds you up the most on social media? -
5. The most overrated producer/dj of the year - Someone who gets all the plaudits and you can't for the life of you see why -
6. Outstanding contribution - Who appears to bend over backwards to be that negative influence on the scene? -
Obviously it goes without saying that these are just a bit of fun and are not to be taken seriously in any way shape or form. GO!!

I actually was considering doing worst categories for the awards I'm running but seeing as how everyone thinks we're a hateful bunch on here, I decided against it. Last thing we need is to tarnish this place into the shithole that was ush.net.

USH was, and will always be, the greatest forum that ever existed.

It pains me to agree but yes, Gammer. He wasn't even that bad by any means, in fact I imagine the whole FW thing has't helped, and I still maintain he is probably the best technical DJ and producer in hardcore - it's just this year... I dunno, maybe I expected more. Not a dig by any means.
The worst track of the year - Christ knows, there's that much utter drivel being knocked out it's hard to say. Overrated track might be a better suggestion, but still I'm not help with that.
Most disappointing drop - I can't think of its name but it is a Klubfiller track - builds up beautifully then turns into one of them shitty minimal house type tracks that loses all energy - seriously, what is the point of this??
There are quite a few like this but the one I'm thinking of is a more well known one.

1. The worst track of the year - Not sure...
2. The most disappointing drop of the year - Breeze & Re-Con - Testify. The breakdown was sooo good and then it dropped into bass and noises.
3. The most disappointing producer of the year - Dunno...
4. The biggest bitch of the year - Breeze. No one else. He's, what, 45?, but acts like 15.
5. The most overrated producer/dj of the year - Not sure...
6. Outstanding contribution - I don't know. I wanna say Breeze again. :P

This is a award for me :D, but I am going to try being constructive here, and just take tracks I know I've heard, instead of just going based on hearsay.
1. The worst track of the year - Too many to choose... Anything by/with Breeze.
2. The most disappointing drop of the year - UFO & K-wire - Placid.
The first half of the track is basicly a melodic build up, and when the drop comes, it just ends up being a filler track with acid basskick.
3. The most disappointing producer of the year - Darwin.
This might seem odd to some people, but I had some expectations on both Darwin & Fracus to release something very nice this year. I think I was expecting some more "freeform" from these 2 (but you can't deny that Darwin usually has some freeform made) :P
4. The biggest bitch of the year - (MC) Storm AND MC Keyes.
The mess with Sy should've been kept between Sy and Storm, but Keyes couldn't hold his mouth shut and just made it worse.
5. The most overrated producer/dj of the year - jD-KiD.
He makes some well produced tracks, but I still can't see the charm in them.
6. Outstanding contribution - Breeze.
For failing to make something out of FW, and for not knowing atleast a few names outside the Brittish scene.

Too late, I took it too serious :P

The biggest bitch of the year
Mc Storm
and it made my day to see he didn't win any awards at the Hardcore Heaven Awards.

Fixed that for you ;)
To be honest, if there was a Underrated vs Overrated track category, I would definitly put the Gammer remix as underrated and the original as overrated.

Unforgettable (Gammer Remix) grew so much on me. I love it now.

Pretty sure you're thinking of Bak Off.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKcYN-ozHas This song is goddamn terrible. And I feel like the vocal sample is in the song for the sheer purpose of providing the track title.
