I've seen a couple of postings from folks who have been here quite a while saying they didn't know anything about the Awards at all. That was my rationale for having a sticky during the nomination and voting phases.

Incidentally, the reason there weren't these sorts of stickies is, I think, simply because this was organized from the ground-up by members without any staff involvement (unlike, say, the banner contests, which are organized by the staff). It became a sort of quasi-official contest basically by acclamation (because someone started it and everyone else just followed along).
I don't necessarily have a problem in theory with raising the profile a bit given that it's established, but I think I would still want to mention somewhere in the announcement that it's run by the members involved (just so that people don't start contacting the mods/admins with complaints about how the contest is run, etc., since it really wouldn't be our place to change anything).
