You can only nominate one cache in each category.

You can NOT nominate a cache you have placed, a photo you have taken or a log you have written.
Photos MUST be online on a cache log.

According to my GSAK DB there were 2359 caches published (on GC alone) in 2012 that are still active, so there are plenty of caches to choose from...... go to it!
