The "Posthumous Awards" thread was created several iterations ago by  De Sousa, and essentially colonized early-on by Posthumous, but it has never been exclusively his. Here's the original post:

I'm creating this thread to encourage people to show, week after week, challenge after challenge, their preferences for different photos than the ones winning DPC ribbons. I think it's important to give some visibility to other works not aligned with the mainstream taste, and give support to photographers with different views and approaches to photography.
So, after each challenge, you are encouraged to post here your personal winners, photos that did not won a DPC ribbon and are not align with the masses taste, but won your heart instead.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. Let̢۪s show some.
A warm comment in a photograph can do a lot.

So all these additional awards are in keeping with the spirit of the creator, and personally I think it would probably not be a good idea to have multiple threads doing the same basic thing; it would clutter up the home page every rollover, some folks would stop giving awards because it would look too egotistic, and those of us who actually *follow* the awards might find it hard to keep track.
That's just one bear's opinion, though :-)
