Perhaps we should post our lists here too, so that fellow Edgers can comment on it?
Korbinian Gott - I wish this guy ever made any videos. I had the joy of seeing him train multiple times a week for a year, he is a crazy funny dancy club juggler/manipulator. He has the prettiest 5 club cascade I have ever seen! Oh and he used to be a professional silks performer, while his handstands are also amazing. Top that!
Stefan Sing - Should I explain?
Eric Longequel - His diabolo solo act (which recently has finally been uploaded to youtube) is my all time favorite act!
Jacob Sharpe - Finally saw him live last year, he is an amazing stage character! When I was a diabolo player (6 years ago?) I looked up to him, then I turned into a ball juggler and soon he started posting ball juggling videos too!
Yuri Yamamura - My favorite example of Japanese style juggling. Simple, dry, inventive and super high skill level!
Jay Gilligan - Cult leader
David Severins - The best performance I saw this year (Berlin juggling convention gala), flashing 9 big rings on stage!
Emanuel Perez - I love the mime style and it makes me want to learn bouncing
Alessandro Sacchi - I love the happy style and makes me want to learn bouncing.
David Cain - My favorite juggling historian! (Sorry David, it is not the juggling that I chose you for ;) )
I'll take it anyway I can! I never get any nominations on Luke's list, so I appreciate it. Thanks.
David Cain
Here is my vote:
Wes Peden - I always have to include Wes as he is the one that inspired me to juggle again after a 28 year hiatus.
Lewis Kennedy - The stuff he comes up with is awesome and he is the MEGABEAST!
Kellin Quinn - His 3 club stuff just amazes.
Haavard Hvidsten - Prolific video poster and has some mad skills to boot!
Daniel Ledel and Dominik Harant - Voted for these guys as I loved their glow club routine and wicked passing. Met them in 2012 and they are also super nice guys!
Albe Assouad - "Body Throws Overdose" - need I say more.
Pavel Evsukevich - Missed Pavel this year...pretty quiet, but, still love his ring and head bounce madness.
Daniela Paličková - I make it a point to include at least one lady on my list each year, and I couldn't decided between Daniela and Nikki this year, so I went with the toss juggler.
Gustaf Rosell - Just love his style in "Made in Falun" and "Were is Petter"
Sucks that we only get 10...as I had to leave off: Thom Wall, Tony Pezzo, Emil Dahl, Jacob Sharpe, Eric Longequel, and countless others!!
- Warren
Pavel Evsukevich - For amazing, inspirational technical juggling.
Anthony Gatto - A continuing inspiration and still the best juggler in the world.
Dave Leahy - Great guy with great juggling.
Dan Wood - Mr. Siteswap jukebox himself!
Lewis Kennedy - The main man!
Peter Bone - Amazing trick variety.
Alex Barron - For pushing forward numbers ball juggling.
Jon Peat - Always a pleasure to see this guy at a convention. Very good juggler too!
Vova Galchenko - For all that neat & tidy juggling.
Haavard Hvidsten - I enjoyed his juggling videos this year.

1. Wes Peden - The king of juggling and 1 of the 3 jugglers who inspired me the most this year
2. Eric Longequel - One of the other 2 who inspired me the most. His dance with juggling is astonishing and he has also the best looking beard I've ever seen.
3. Stefan Sing - The last one of the 3 jugglers who inspired me for obvious reasons.
4. Maxime Sales - Never heard of him before until this year. His juggling looks awesome.
5. Gon Fernández - Saw him practising at Dumbo Days and followed his ring workshop. He's super nice and his juggling is sick. He's one of the best ring jugglers imo.
6. Emil Dahl - 9 CLUB FLASH!
7. Luke Burrage - For making the top 40 happen every year.
8.
9.
10.
The 3 others I still need to decide.

Gon Fernandez, I was trying to find his name too because of Dumbo Days! I am not worried though, the first time he would make a video or perform at an EJC he will be at the top of the list immediately ;)

He has some badass videos already! This is his youtube-channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Gonjuggler/videos
I changed how I voted a bit this year. I normally vote for my favorite jugglers and so include people like Gatto, Toby Walker and maybe a historical juggler. This year I voted based only on what people had done in 2013 either in live performance or on video.
Emil Dahl - 9 club flash as well as the video where he does 8 as well as other technical and creative club juggling. Never heard of him 6 months ago.
Alex Barron - 15 catches of 13 balls, 4 cycles of db97531, etc.
Tony Pezzo - Amazingly solid and creative juggler. Very jealous of his 5 club flats.
Chris Hodge - A large variety of technical juggling. His pencil balance video was incredible.
Wes Peden - Saw his performances at the EJC. Some of it was a bit too artsy for me but a lot of it was amazing technical juggling combined with creativity.
Dan Wood - Siteswap and numbers mega-beast (as Lewis would say).
Lewis Kennedy - For his entertaining videos as well as his head bounce and balancing skills combined with juggling. Always a fun guy to have at conventions.
Dave Leahy - Made some impressive videos this year with some very technical siteswapping and coming very close to qualifying 10 balls.
Haavard Hvidsten - As well as watching him a bit at the EJC he made some very impressive ball juggling videos (kickup from 756 into 867, and 7 ball quintuplex with russian balls).
Robin Spinneli - His video was very well produced and contained some incredible diabolo and juggling skills. Never heard of him before that video.

Still narrowing it down...I sometimes find it tough to compare regional styles to one another. Ah well, here it is:
Kellin Quinn - Tons of videos, tons of participation at this year's IJA, everything fresh and funky.
Havaard Hvidsten - Nice mix of creative and techy, and put out some monster videos.
baronetgobu (this year's JJF winner, need to look up his name) - Gets the freshest live performance I've seen this year award. #rethinkdevilstick
Darren Wakefield - He is redefining multi ball contact. The rate he comes out with videos packed with hard, new tricks is insane.
Gustaf Rosell - I got a qualify of blind behind the head. A couple days later, he uploads a video of him a nice run of behind the head, along with tons of other patterns. His collab with Sharp was beast too.
3Hirota - Loads of videos of super sweet 3b action.
Jose Lima - Great body throws, and is really fun to have in the community.
Andrew Olsen - Comes up with loads of 3b Millsy things, taking Mills way further than I thought to. Loads of interesting videos, from a number of standpoints.
Jordan Moir - Pushing the footbagging/juggling hybrid envelope HARD.
Emily Dahl - From his videos, I thought he was mostly a numbers juggler (and an amazing one at that!). After meeting him I can say with confidence: this guy is the whole package. His manipulation and face balances are unreal.
asf360 - No videos for the last few months, but this guy was pounding out both interesting 3b and cataloging variations like crazy for a few months this year.
JugglerNasu - Loads of 3b, nice Japanese juggler compilations.
Peter Bone - Doing crazy hard things. Love the doulbe inverted pendulum balance.
My general criteria was something like: vote_odds = num_videos * quality_videos + fest_presence + bonus_for_3b
Every year there are more & more people that make the list that I've never heard of. There are already several names here that are new to me which I think is a good thing as it shows that there is a steady stream of new blood entering into the scene. I don't keep up with the who's who in the juggling world as much as I used to so Luke's annual poll is a good way to find new interesting jugglers.
However, my interest in juggling celebrities has been waning for many years & I no longer feel the need to research & watch videos of unfamiliar names anymore.

It seems I've watched so many amazing juggling videos over the last year or so that I'm finding it difficult remembering the videos, the jugglers, their names or youtube usernames. Gustaf Rosell and Gautier Tritschler are a couple that first spring to mind. Julius made a couple of great videos this year. Kyle Johnson did that amazing three ball cascade rolling thing. There's been many amazing 3b videos, Japanese and non-Japanese.
Also Lucas Gardezani Abduch and Norbi would be my choice for the two juggling film producers of the year. And Orinocco for a great year of the juggling Edge.
