With Multimedia being promoted as a way for people to show positive and negative happenings within a community, I believe it would be a good idea to honour this behaviour for people who actually produce the multimedia content. America has its OSCARS, we can have our own, and they could be called CAMEO's. As most multimedia content is produced for websites, blogs etc, its makes sense to convey this in the name, so my idea for a name is CAMEO which could stand for

Community Award for Multimedia Excellence Online

This could be a yearly event where we honour members of the community for their production of content for websites, blogs etc; the prize could be a small statuette, or something appropriate; this could be a competition open to the community to come up with a design. I think the scope is vast, we could honour all types of people associated with the production of a piece of multimedia, it could be a song, audio or spoken podcast, a video, anything multimedia related. Then it can be broken down into categories, actors, directors, camera persons, script writers, musicians, creativity, age groups etc and many more. I imagine it would take a bit of funding, and someone prepared to get it off the ground. This is how I believe you engage with communities, and give them something back for their efforts, I think this is an excellent way to keep the community motivated enough to continue to produce content for years to come. You never know it could be televised one day and well not be quite as big as the Oscars, but something to be proud of.
