Below are the rules as set out in last month's nomination thread, and please remember to limit your nominations to boards that have been posted on the forums since January the first.
More
1. A nomination thread will go up for the last two weeks of every month. You can nominate anybody you like, (even yourself) and any person can have any number of nominations every month. This is going to be the nomination thread for December.
a. These boards should be ones you are drawn to, ones that stand out for one reason or another. Keysets, modifications, whatever you fancy. I don’t want to have to post guidelines or restrictions on the boards, but I may change this depending on the types of submissions we get over the first few months. Please also say a little bit about each board you nominate, as to the reasons why you think it deserves to be up for KOTM.
b. The board must have been posted to the forums since the start of the calendar month. It can have been posted before then, but you must provide a link to the images that were posted after the first day of the calendar month.
c. Keyboards may be resubmitted in subsequent months, but they must have had a picture or progress posted within the calendar month that they are nominated for.
d. NO THEMES RIGHT NOW. These may or may not follow in the coming months. This also may or may not tie in with the calendar that may or may not happen at the end of next year.
2. However, after the initial two week period of nominations, a user will only have ONE board get through to the final public voting process. The final three nominees will be selected by myself from the most nominated and praised board in the nomination thread. E.G. If one board is posted and has the most +1s, quotes or references by other users in said thread, that will be chosen as one of the final three. Essentially, there is a crowd unofficial voting before the public voting. The final three are not up to me, they are up to you.
3. PLEASE post some good quality photos of the board you are nominating. I’m not looking for Macro lenses and DSLRs, but maybe more than one, top down, blurry shot would be nice. I realise if it isn’t your board there isn’t much you can do about it, but just pick a couple that aren’t terrible from an album or post.
4. On the 1st of every month, a poll thread will go up. This will consist of three finalists. Again, a user will only have one of their boards get through to this stage during any particular month. You can of course be nominated on another month. There will be one vote per person, and the results will remain anonymous until the voting closes.
5. After a period of one week, the voting will be closed and a winner will be announced. The winner will be posted both on that month's voting thread, and the following month's nominations thread. I’m not sure if there will be a prize every month, but if there is then I will sort it out and backdate it if I come up with one in a few months time.
6. The winner of each monthly process will go through to the ANNUAL KEYBOARD OF THE YEAR process, and the winner of the will DEFINITELY win a prize which I will work out in a year’s time.
You can post any feedback (good or bad) in the feedback thread on the off topic board, found here - https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=66797.0
Nominations will last until January 31st at probably around midnight GMT ish, Then voting will last from the 1st of February (maybe, depending on the Super Bowl) but it will last for 7 days.
Can I nominate myself?

You can indeed! I'm very jealous of that backspace, I never knew they did one of those!

Oobly's take on the Hemmingwrite (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=66836.msg1580523#msg1580523)
I love that! A seriously awesome layout!
Just wondering but what is the deal with the cut off date? I ask because I might have a keyboard to nominate next month.
My nomination for this month is bianco's Lightsaver.
Erm. Again.
This time with GMK Dolch, two Hellboys and two Bros. Nice.

Holy **** why didn't I buy a Lightsaver when they were available...
That is one sexy keyboard, in terms of caps, case, layout, and artisans.
Just for fun, I'm nominating myself.

That's an amazing board :D I bet it's VERY rewarding to type on...
Note to self: I must get myself a decent Model F.
I would like to nominate my own keyboard.
Here is a potato:

55g with silver digilog. (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40658.msg1614658#msg1614658)
That's actually only one step away from being my ideal keyboard - if it had yellow printed keycaps - perfect!
(Oh, and if the space bar was not deformed :p )
There's a few boards that I think should be nominated:
