Didn\u2019t Happen of the Year Awards 2018 \u2013 Nominees, dates and info The biggest (and probably only) award show for celebrating the biggest liars and storytellers on social media is upon us, as the third annual \u2018Didn\u2019t Happen of the Year Awards\u2019 (DHOTYA) has been announced. As the name suggests, these awards find the best examples of things typically shared on social media that most certainly \u2018didn\u2019t happen\u2019. You may recognize some of the trademarks, such as a very young child suddenly having an epiphany on world politics, or a classic \u2018I had the last laugh\u2019 tale. Here\u2019s a simple example of one which is up for the awards: LadBible \u201cI feel so much more can be achieved on social media than what it\u2019s used for today and wanted to use DHOTYA as a way to push boundaries, create unique content and do something positive.\u201d As for what qualifies as a \u2018didn\u2019t happen moment\u2019, Barnes said: \u201cmost people usually tell these lies to push a political agenda of some kind, whether it\u2019s their views on Brexit, other politics, sexism, etc.\u201d He also mentions the common use of children in the stories, which makes for an even better \u2018didn\u2019t happen\u2019 candidate, \u201calmost like \u2018if my kids can see it then you all should\u2019.\u201d And it\u2019s not just for laughs, as the awards are raising money for charity, aiming for a goal of \u00a310,000 for homeless charity \u2018Shelter\u2019. If you’ve enjoyed our content over the last 12 months and are looking forward to the awards, please take the time to read our plans to raise \u00a310k for the homeless to @Shelter by the end of the awards!https:\/\/t.co\/P3YgpcTOiv Donate \u00a32 by texting “”DHOT94 \u00a32″” to 70070 \u2014 Didn’t Happen of the Year Awards (@_DHOTYA) December 18, 2018 The winners will be chosen over December 28-30, and the process has already started with the announcement of groups. Betting odds from bookmakers BetVictor tell us which ones are the favorites to win, and some of them are truly incredible tales. The overall favorite is this \u2018Helicopter\u2019 story from musician Tom Zanetti, which apparently contains many tropes of an ideal \u2018didn\u2019t happen\u2019 contender. visiting this website or texting \u201cDHOT94 \u00a32\u201d to 70070 to donate \u00a32 (UK Only).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
