First, you don't think the Mayans would end the world prior to voting for your favorite Dynamo players and moments, do you? Not a chance!

Last year, Dynamo Theory launched our first ever annual awards - dubbed The Creamsicles. You better believe we wouldn't change a thing after such a great 2012 season for the Houston Dynamo.

But now, you - the Dynamo fanatics - get your chance to say who the best of the best is for 2012. In November, members of the press voted for the annual Dynamo awards, but nothing says truth more than the fan's opinion.

In 2012, we have 10 categories to crown a winner in.
