I nominate my board most months but I really don't see what the value of "winning" is? It's not like the link is prominently displayed anywhere- you have to go digging to find out who even wins... and it's not like there's any great need on the web where someone is looking for links to new forums.. As the contest stands I don't see why anyone would care if they won? Merely getting into the voting will probably bring as much traffic as actually winning.

Maybe I'm missing something?
