Not in because I'm a new member and I'm not familiar with all big giveaways in 2015. So I just write my opinion.

A Community Giveaway and The Community Giveaway. When I joined GOG and started to post on community, I saw ACG & TCG. Great work by their hosts (IAmSinistar and moonshineshadow), all generous contributors and nominators. They made many members happy by their amazing gifts and surprises. Big thanks to them.
I'm in, please

My vote is for the TBBBBoB by Sachys and Foxworks

TBBBBoB
NOT IN

But I want to nominate IAmSinistar for the community giveaway

AND

Sachys and foxworks for the Bonanza giveaway.

I would also nominate moonshineshadow for continuing the community giveaway but he is not in the giveaway.
I'm in and nominate the following giveaways:

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/try_linux_giveaway/page1

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_big_try_linux_gog_game_giveaway_win_xiii_the_witcher_3_sw2013_much_more/page1

since they support a DRM-free OS which is great.


I also nominate the following giveaway

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/come_find_great_classic_loom_ga/page1

since I really like how ExiL0n shares the game (s)he loves as soon as it gets available.
Not in for the $5.99 game.

Nominations for best giveaway of 2015:

A Community Giveaway by IAmSinistar
The beginning of a legend. Possibly the greatest giveaway of all time. It is the epitome of what the Gog community is all about. It brought people here together to do something awesome for others. Whether you donated to the giveaway or nominated someone for a game, you were sure to bring a smile to some unsuspecting person halfway across the net. It has ended but lives on with my next nominee.

The Community Giveaway (plus sub-giveaway Bestseller contest) by moonshineshadow
A continuation of "A Community Giveaway". moonshineshadow took what made the previous incarnation wonderful and added a sub-giveaway to the mix to find the most people to nominate for the games on the CG that not many people wanted or already had. The result was lots of people being granted a game from a giveaway they had no knowledge of. This turned what was simply A Community Giveaway into The Community Giveaway. May it live on for eternity!

A Star Wars Puzzle Giveaway! by coxdr
This giveaway was a personal favorite of mine back in the beginning of this year. coxdr created a very creative puzzle with 2 solutions and 2 prizes. A DARKSIDE puzzle that was easier to solve but resulted in a smaller prize and a LIGHTSIDE puzzle that was much harder but yielded a greater prize. The Darkside puzzle was solved but to this day no one has figured out the solution to the elusive Lightside puzzle.
woo-hoo!
not in.. ; )
I would like, however, to nominate:

IAmSinistar's A Community Giveaway

moonshineshadow's The Community Giveaway

adamhm's The Big "Try Linux" GOG Game Giveaway

Thank you very much triock! ++

Not in for the game, but I'll make my nominations:

_Cyraxpt's "I want to play a game" Giveaway
My favourite was , but I also enjoyed the incorrectly numbered [url=http://www.gog.com/forum/general/i_want_to_play_a_game_v60_giveaway_1]V6.0 (it was supposed to be V7.0). They are fun and interactive and Cyrax makes a great host with not the obvious answers being the right ones.

_grimwerk's puzzle giveaway 3
Selected from among several puzzle giveaways. Honourable mentions go to other puzzle GA hosts. Off the top of my head: truhlik, WildHobgoblin, bler, Slaugh (sorry if I missed anyone...).

_Slaugh's Murder at the GOG Manor mystery giveaway
It was really fun guessing the murderer, weapon and location. Honourable mentions go to Slaugh's poker giveaway (who deserves a reward for the way he organizes his GAs, and posts in general), and other guessing giveaways: Phc's mystery game variant, mrkgnao's random game guessing and croxxx's GYG steam giveaway.

Other honourable mentions:
_TBBBBOB by Sachys and foxworks.
_The Mastermind end of year gift by pavo. Excellent game idea.
(I might add later if I think of anything)

The second was the already well nominated adamhm's Big Try Linux Giveaway

In or Not in? ;)
I'm in. With all due respect and recognition the the forum members well known for their generosity, I decided to go a different route:

Early this year, WhiteRakogis made us all bet on What is game 1000. We did not even know when GOG's game 1000 would come out! Today GOG lists around 1350 games. That is close to a new game each day! Impressive!

ZFR makes the wonderful The Giveaway of Second Chances. He has done it many times already, but I find it such a neat and singular idea, that I think it needs recognition.

Finally, I like the puzzle giveways (and the games, too)! There are several of them. I'll avoid mentioning ZFR again, so I'll elect grimwerk with his puzzle giveaway 3. mrkgnao also did good work on this class of giveaways.

Thank you all for your generous actions.

Not sure if these kind of threads qualify, but this one is from 2014 regardless.

Gede: I'll elect grimwerk with his puzzle giveaway 3.
I thought I was nominating an obscure giveaway, so I'm happy to see someone else liked that one too.
