The Winner - The Award - The Medal - The Prize Package
Main Page



The Flying Dutchman Award was designed to recognize private citizens that go above and beyond the call of piracy, fostering a sense of mutinous villainy coupled with warm-fuzzy feelings throughout their communities. Having carefully observed piratical activities throughout the past year, Bilgemunky and the Pirate Guys felt The Pirate Captain (who ran his entire campaign without the use of his real name) clearly demonstrated these very qualities during his run for Student Body President at NCSU.

Throughout the election season The Pirate Captain engaged in piratey debates, piratey radio commercials, and piratey live appearances to voters. And while he addressed real issues in his platform, he always did so from a pirate perspective using pirate words. Through this daring strategy The Pirate Captain successfully won the loyalties of his classmates and plundered his way to victory. On the day of the election, flanked by a cutthroat crew, The Pirate Captain delivered his salty victory speech to a cheering (and "yarrring" student body, many of which were wearing makeshift pirate attire.

For his efforts in running a successful campaign while at the same time injecting NCSU with a serious dose of pirattitude, The Pirate Captain will be presented with a hand-crafted pewter medallion featuring a Jolly Roger of Bilgemunky's own design, along with a special prize package compiled through the generous donations of many fine pirate businesses, including Laughing Pan Productions, DressLikeAPirate.com, Pirate's Alley Rum Cakes, The Ben Gunn Society, Captain Jack's Pirate Hats, PirateMod, Skallywaggs, No Quarter Given, and TalkLikeAPirate.com.
