"The Shadows of Cuiviénen Award" - as this was the birthplace of
Elves and their first experience of mystery and fear;
"The Barrow-Wight Award" - as we never really learned what these were;
"The Púkel-men Award" - another mysterious people, existing only as
withered statues in the Third Age;
Well, these are probably not the most clever ones, but a beginning
anyway.
Any other ideas, anybody?

Well, those are rather mysterious, I'll grant you. Let's make this
official:
Soledad has motioned for a new Mystery Category with the award names of "The
Shadows of Cuivienen Award, The Barrow-Wight Award, and The Pukel-men
Award."
If someone (other than myself) will second it, and we get two more Aye votes
(so basically four people have to want this, Soledad is one), I will call
this an official Category!
(I just made this stuff up right now. ;-) It's kind of fun being a listmom.
Gives one a sense of power....)

I think they are clever.

Or hey, other Awards titles are still an option. I'm still not wholly
satisfied with Quickbeam as the 3rd place Award for Humor. Who else was
funny in Tolkien's work?

Ok, I'll second the motion.
